Danger-giant acorns falling from the sky



My husband had a big surprise for our daughter today that I wanted to share. She was jumping up and down with excitement as he brought her the largest acorn we had ever seen. Okay, so it wasn't a real acorn. My husband is a woodworker and had made this 6" tall acorn on his lathe. It is made out of walnut, oak and jarah and weighs enough that she could cause some serious damage if she dropped it on her toes or her brother's head. It's going on a shelf!
He is in the process of setting up his shop on Etsy right now. In about a week it will be full of pens, wine stoppers, small bowls and other goodies.
