These are the highlights of my day! What do you think of little Yoda? He is just too cute! He stands about7" high; made on my 22 needle Addi. I watched this YouTube to make it. The bowl cozy is a gift from a friend who knows I don't like eating my ice cream from a sweating bowl! lol And the acorn? Welll, I was successful with my goal of turning it into a secret box!
I sawed the bottom from the cap--by hand because the blade broke on my bandsaw! Then I had to hollow out another piece of wood to hold the cap so I could hollow it out. Then I cut off that end of the wood and hollowed out a shape for the lower portion of the acorn. I hollowed that out and then polished them both again!
Now, the inside is hollow and the two pieces snap together looking like it was before only now it is better!
If you count the stem, it measures 4" now. When I make this again, I will do the hollowing in the beginning and it will be mush easier and a more efficient use of time! I made it out of oak-in case I forgot to say that before; what else would you make an acorn out of?!
