    Poor Quality

    As another reviewer noted, these aren’t the best specimens. The one I was sent looked like a reject, but I guess that’s the risk of buying these online.

    Banskia Pods

    I've purchased and turned Banskia pods before. The turning is not an issue. The structural integrity of these 3 pods are sound as near as I can tell. The issue is the poor selection sent. I have seen these pods in the wild and I do not know why Woodcraft would have sent me what they did. On sale, so I guess they're emptying inventory and I guess I got what I paid for.
