    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. 8 fresh, clean, inspected, medium size, straight, golden brown knob cone (knobcone) pine cones.  They ae all roughly 4-1/2" long give or take a bit,  and 1" to 1-1/2" in diameter.  These were chosen because of their shape, they are straighter than most without the normal 'comma" shaped bodies. . This is a good size for many different jewelry pieces.  All are tightly closed, perfect for making jewelry and all are checked to ensure they don't have insect damage.  These are all gold in color although a couple have turned dark over part of their body.  Nearly all have varying amounts of pitch on the outside (the white coloring), ranging from no pitch at all, to some that have more.  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 .00.  (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.
