The Banksia nut is a popular turning challenge. Somewhat odd looking, it is found in Australia. The Banksia plant was named by Sir Joseph Banks in 1770. Sir Joseph was the botanist on Captain James Cook’s first expedition.
The Banksia nut is actually the seed pod, which takes several years to mature. The pods are hard and solid, with seed cavities running from the outside toward the centre core. They are easy to turn and can take good detail. The turned nut has a similar colour and texture to walnut burr, with the interesting addition of elliptical holes where the seeds were produced.
Australian Banksia nuts are commonly turned into ornamental items as bud vases, small hollow forms, Christmas decorations or sliced and polished as coasters.
Note: We strongly recommend you wear face protection such as a face shield as seeds may fly out of the nut whilst turning, don't forget to wear a dust mask.
