My children use these as surfboards in the garden pretending that they are riding a huge wave. The dog enjoys just chewing them. It’s amazing what use and enjoyment these pods can provide.

I found one of these pods a short while ago. I suspected it came from a palm but wasn't sure until I saw your photos. I have used the pod as a base to display a collection of Tillandsia 'air plants'. I packed the inside of the pod with small slices of wood which I then packed with peat moss and then covered with coconut fibre. The Tillandsia are glued to the wood. I finished the piece by covering it with Tillandsia usneoides (Spanish moss). I intend to use it as a demonstration piece to encourage my clients (in Community Mental Health program) to take on the making of the Tillandsia arrangements as a hobby or a way of making a little extra money by selling them.
