My Idea is now Finished

[Spiel]

I walk my pup several times a day and lately the Coniferous trees about the neighbourhood have been shedding lot's of seed cones and I had the idea to try and make reels seats out of them. Well the first, possibly a first anywhere is now done. There's definitely room for improvement but as the first prototype out of the shop I'm very pleased with the end results. I envisioned something once completed that would resemble fish scales and by golly I believe they do.

So, here it is from start to finish........

Looks good, I believe cones will accept a stain very well, so possible colourization in the future? 

If you gather in the early fall, while the cones are still tight, the scale effect might be enhanced.

Thank you.
My mind is "reeling" at the possibilities Albert.

Chris... I've been watching for many years... and you never cease to amaze ! If I could afford it I'd commission one formyself... no ... not if I could afford it 

... but if I'd be not afraid to use it... your projects are one of a kind art !
