Jewelry training lot 6 premium knob cone knobcone pine cones up to 6" long

Description

Direct from the "manufacturer".  From a PINE tree that is!  Many people want to try to make their own pine cone jewelry but don't want to commit to a substantial investment, so I have decided to offer up some of my premium knobcone pine cones in what I call "training kits" Each kit will consist of a small cone, in this case about 3", to experiment on, four larger cones to become more proficient (4" or more), and one "big boy" to make some serious pendants or ear rings.  The largest cone in this lot is about 6" long and 1-3/4" in diameter, as shown   My pine cones come from the Central Coast of California in a rural area, and have no exposure to chemicals or other man made toxicants.  All are tightly closed, perfect for making jewelry and all are checked to ensure they don't have insect damage.  This lot is all gold or dark brown in color.  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.   I guarantee the cones  shown and described will be the cones to ship, 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.
