    That is very close. I bet if you watered it it would sprout an giant eucalyptus plant. ;-) No finish on it? Again, a very good likeness.

    Very neat Lionel. I like the textures and carving on this piece. If you do another one, I would suggest leaving the feet off and having a completely round bottom so it would HAVE to be displayed on its side.

    No, it's not thin enough yet.

    exact Scott ...
    in fact, the real pods are not four feet, clearly seen on the picture
    I have invented to transform it into a pot that can be placed on its four feet
    artistically, may be a mistake...

    Skillfully done.
