Looks like Casuarina seed pods. Leptospermum seed pods are very different.

Where did you source them? And im curious as to why oven bake them?

Actually you are right, they are casuarina seeds. I got them mixed up. I just collect them in my local bush when walking the dog.
I soak my banksia seeds in smoky water, so thought I'd soak all my seeds. Don't know if I need to.
Now I'll have to change the heading, if I can.
