    Description

    SALE!!!  Direct from the "manufacturer".  From a PINE tree that is!  The Central Coast of California is "blessed" with pretty intense wind storms on occasion,  and this is part of the "windfall", so to speak. Just about as fresh from the tree as it is possible to get. 16 fresh, clean, inspected, assorted size and color knob cone (knobcone) pine cones.  The shortest are 3" long and just over an inch in diameter; the longest are about 4" in length. and the rest fall between those two sizes. This is a good size for teaching how to say and polish the slices, or to make ear rings and smaller items.  All are tightly closed, perfect for making jewelry and all are checked to ensure they don't have insect damage.  They are a mixture of gold or grey in color; grey ones have dried out some and are lighter, gold is fresher and heavier.  Nearly all have varying amounts of pitch on the outside (the white coloring), some actually have no pitch at all, some have a fair amount,  which shouldn't be a problem for jewelry and I believe can be removed with solvent or gentle media blasting.  Some still have bits of stems on, perfect for "bird beaks".   The cones shown are the ones that will ship in this lot.  I have other cones listed, both smaller and larger in size, as well as in larger and smaller quantities.  These cones are from the central California coast mountains and are nowhere near any sort of toxic pesticide spray and have only been handled to collect them.  I guarantee the cones to be the ones shown and described, but nothing beyond that. They ship "as-is",  to any U.S. zip code, in a box, each cone separated by paper from other cones to prevent contact damage,  priority and insured, for FREE.  (Local pickup always allowed) U.S. shipments only due to the complications of shipping wood products to other countries.     No returns since pine cones don't exactly have serial numbers!   Feel free to ask questions or for other photo views.  No reserve.
