YES I did Paul,I admit to flinching as you cut the cones into strips using your fingers. The finished pen is remarkable.

Paul you have impressed me with your video and now I see huge numbers of other cones have their place in pens,awareness comes with explanation. 62 yrs ago I had an A Model Ford Tourer and it seemed A Models from 1927 were everywhere. I loved ours.

My Mum gave me a WW2 Army blanket, with this I upholstered the seats, a mate worked at the Australian War Memorial here was a spray painter and for a pack of cigarettes using Carnation Red with Black to tone it down a bit made a thing of pride for me. A sewn cover on the rear mounted spare wheels and new side curtains by an upholsterer it looked great. I had it make me use the crank handle only once out with Wilma to the pictures down town.

Kind regards Peter.

Hello Peter.

Pinecones are very popular. With the beautiful patterns they produce, I can see why.

Great story about the A model. Do you ever wonder where or what has happened to that car?

Regards
Paul
