Also wonder if that would allow it to float due to the boyancy of the pine cone. Guess it would depend on the weight of the steel.

Stabilized pine cone handles look great. They don't hold up as well as some materials, so they are not for hard use. I have a basket of green pine cones (or they were green) that have been taped up and drying for a couple of years. As time allows I will prepare them. The process I plan on using is to stabilize them and then shoot them with a polyester adhesive. Hopefully this will make them durable. The processes I will use are:

Stabilizing: Put them in a chamber and draw a vacuum for 2 hours. Introduce stabilizing into fluid the chamber without breaking the vacuum. Add 3500 pounds of pressure to the chamber. Let cure. After curing, place in different vacuum chamber - in a solution of dyed polyester adhesive. Draw vacuum (got to be careful to not let the adhesive foam. Remove, cut and shape.

I'll post pictures when I do it.

Crash I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
