This project is an ornament for the Christmas Ornament Challenge which is now open. The shell is maple; the cap is walnut. They are joined together with a bayonet style bushing which makes it very easy to open and close to get at the candy inside.

The acorn is about 2.5 inches diameter and 5.5 inches long, finished with shellac.

The bayonet style bushing is available at https://www.etsy.com/shop/AsWoodTurnsTools
