This is a Banksia pod from Southwest Australia, and they are seriously cool! I know most of you will have wanted me to fill the holes with epoxy, and for that reason I have a second one that I'll be turning sometime soon .... any ideas on the style? I wanted to keep the first one natural, as I think its a really effective look.
The vase has been sanded to 10000 grit and finished with Danish oil and Wood wax.

Let me know what you think!

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I am still relatively new to woodturning and some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest. When using any tools or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines.
Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practise. The gloves I wear are tight fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing. Woodturning - What Sort of Pinecone is THIS!?
