Hi Pete.- Thanks for reply to my fun subject, I do't think it's a pine cone because it's a shell and had a loose nut inside
After capping with ebony it has just been polished with brown shoe polish .
Hi Tiddles, I think It`s a THIKA nut , Is that a fircone? I had to be careful cutting the ends to remove kernel,
would you like tosee what I turend from the kernel?
Hi Mike C. Thanks for reply , I think it is the outer case or shell of the THIKA nut.
Like your (missus) I thought the shell loked too good to throw away so I capped it with ebony and a screw top lid
Then polished it with brown shoe polish.
