This is my first fan/lite pull to make out of a pine cone. My bud Doug B was correct the futher u go into one of these cones the harder it is to keep thangs together , bottom line the nuts keep fallin out. I felt like I was a body man slappin on bondo whilst I was usin ca glue. Sad part is the C glue aint cheap. Let me know what u think , like or dislike.

That's a pretty cool change from the stoppers you've been turning out!!


And a big thumbs up on the new prop!!

Nice job on the fan pull! Though tougher to turn, it sure does look sharp.

Where you do get your pull kits from? Do you buy the kit or is this something you've come up with?

Boy, those pine cones sure make unique looking items!
Well done.
How much Natural Light do you use to stabilize the pines cones?

That's a winner, Boodrow. I'll bet you can't make those as fast as they sell.

[Joe Lyddon]

Yep, Boodrow, you have found the holy grail!

You can a sell a BUNCH of those! One of a kind light pull... any kind of Pull!

Congratulations!

That is just awesome Boodrow! Man, I'm gonna have to make some of those with some of the smaller cones. That is really cool. I've never made a light pull before, but I sure intend to make one out of pine cone now

That is a great idea. Thanks Boodrow.

Thanks for all the kind words , I just got my ole carcass out o bed and still kinda stupid. Will try to answer a few questions that I remeber. The kits come from craft supply , its NOT the one that has a tube that goes all the way threw. Best I remeber there 2.99 each. I have turned a hell of a lot of these pulls and they are a good seller. With exception to the pine cone thay are quick to make and guick to sell.
Les the natty lite is strickly a support item I use while turnin, seems to give me some crazy ideals every once in awhile.
It also serves as a size compair device.

Boodrow,

I thought of another type of Pull that you could make...

Just like a Pull... but more in a Tree shape... with a thin thread or fishline hanger...
A Christmas Tree ornament!
