Stumbled over a bunch of acorns this morning. Anyone cast those yet? Curious if that can be turned and if so, how's it look?

I haven't gotten in to casting yet, but I would certainly like to see the results of an acorn casting!

Tried once and didn't like the outcome, but if you get it to work, I would like to see it.

They're normally moist inside and the nut meat never dries. So, it's not going to work I don't think.

What about if you just use the tops and the empty shells? I guess some of the squirrels around here are pretty good because they can leave the shells intact and get the nut meat out. I see shells and tops empty all the time.

Well, I don't think a bunch of shells suspended in resin is going to give you much to look at. The shells are about as thin as paper, so it's not going to lend much.
I think the best thing to do with the tops are find the real large ones, turn accorns out of hardwoods, glue them to the tops, install eyehook, bind a pair together with twine and give them out as Christmas ornaments.
Other than that, I don't think they have a practical application, but I hope I'm wrong seeing how plentiful they are.

Charlie, you are too funny - but I'll bet you find the ink in this one a little flat.

I was thinking of the moistness in the center too, which is not good for alumilite I guess. If you bake them in the oven, surely they'll roast and then be nice and dry.
