Spiel Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 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........ 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited April 12, 2023 by HTHM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
