   Judging from the pics I've seen the pine cones are cast in epoxy resin then turned. You need to do research on casting epoxy.

   You put the pinecones in a plastic dish and fill it with epoxy. Spray mold release to reuse the mold. Basically it's a bit of the sculpture process that is used initially. Pretty simple. Ed Moulthrop used a similar technique in his branch bowls. See the bottom left photo
