It was an amazing experience – so much fun and sooooo messy. Just my thing! The tools we used to carve the Indiana Limestone were so basic – A big heavy hammer and a few chisels. The end result is a lumpy 50lb acorn that originally was going to be a peach (don’t ask).

An added bonus was bumping into my dear friend Robert and meeting some new ones.
