October 16, 20187 yr Popular Post I have never even thought of turning a pine cone. I saw this picture and was amazed. I think It looks like most of it is 2 part epoxy. Anyone ever turn one?
October 16, 20187 yr Never tired one of these. Looks like it would be a great gift for a Forest Ranger!

October 16, 20187 yr You can do it in a pressure pot or vacuum chamber. The pressure pot is cheaper and easier. I use a pressure pot but might try using my pressure pot as a vacuum chamber with my vacuum chuck.

Market is there, my desire to deal with it has diminished. But I thought I'd take a glance and so I looked at cost for this. Blank =$10 Pencil kit = $4-$10 depends on what kit you like, lots of options, gold, chrome, pewter, gunmetal So roughly you could have up to $20 in parts before you fired up the lathe, drill press, etc etc. Buy one at a show, I would guess $35-$65 each. Might find some on Etsy or Pinterest? I never sold any online, was busy enough with word of mouth at the time.
January 2, 20206 yr Is there anybody selling online. I like the thin led pencil. A trim carpenter I know was going to make me one out of deer antler, but I quit that job before it evolved....
