A few items I took to the Aberglasney Winter Fair last weekend

Rod, that's a very impressive display, it's nice to see and well presented, should have sold well, an trust you'd not taken a lot of them home again.

Cheers  David

I think we recognise a few of them from the forum. A very good display and well laid out, not too crowded or overloaded.

And it's been a long time since I saw a pine cone that big.

Thanks for all your comments.

Dragonfly: I borrowed the cones from a neighbour for the display, people thought I'd turned them!!!! I could have sold them over and over!!!

Anybody on the forum tried turning/carving one???????

....nope....but I once stayed in a villa in Tuscany for a couple of weeks and 'harvested' a dozen or so of these beauties from a nearby forest....we put them back on display again today, as we do each Christmas. Each one is about the size of a small pineapple!
