I've been making these little acorns and selling them on Etsy. Just recently began threading the lids. This one is figured ash with a black walnut top. Most of the ones I made with a sycamore bottom.

The picture with the soda pop can is to give an idea of size.

Very cool! A member of the local club did a demo on his version. He left a little handle on the top so it also is a spinning top. A few other small details that you can see in the pictures hopefully?

Very cool, I bet those sell great, did you use a texturing tool on the top?

Those are so cool!

Interestingly enough, Ashley Harwood just had a video about a "Bowl of Gratitude" in which acorns were placed in the bowl to pass on thanks. In the video, the "acorns" were steel, but yours would be awesome for something similar!
