Project Information

This is an icon of the town I was raised in-Walnut Creek Ca., There was a sign as you entered town off of the freeway that stated "Welcome to Walnut Creek Paradise in a Nut Shell" (Walnuts were their #1 ag. crop) so I named this piece "The Key to Paradise in a Nut Shell" Both the Key and the Nut are Hollow Vessels. My Grandfather was a huge Orchardest and land owner, he harvested walnuts and prunes in Walnut Creek, Alamo, and Danville.

That's very nice! There are an amazing number of segments in that ball.

If you want some walnut for your next one, come on up to Chico. They burn millions of tons of English walnut when replacing orchards around here.

What method do you use to cut your pieces with a slight taper? They are rather large rips so I assume you don't do them on a table saw.
