You will receive the EXACT four Giant burr acorns that you see in the picture.The Burr Oak tree only produces acorns about every FOUR years. Perhaps that's because the acorns it produces are HUGE in comparison to all other acorns.
I have two of them that I gather from (when they're producing). In order to prepare these acorns properly, I roast them in the oven for a short time and then allow them to dry naturally for many months. The shell has to dry COMPLETELY before I can work on them the way I need to. NO TWO ever look exactly alike by the time I get done with them. The variation in colors that you see are ALL natural. I've not used ANY colors or dyes on them. This is just mother nature doing her thing!
I do take them apart and completely clean and buff the large nuts before trimming up the edges of the cup and then placing them back in. I glue them so that there will be NO movement. I then provide SEVERAL layers of clear coat. This ensures that they will never fade, chip, peel, mold etc. The finished product is just gorgeous. AND you can use them indoors OR out.
You will receive the EXACT FOUR Burr Acorns that you see in the picture. Please note that you will see a slight split, hole or flaw. These are thoroughly cleaned, and then sealed so they do NOT now and will NEVER have a bug in them. It's just that it takes these acorns so long to fall that they will have some flaws. I pick the best ones and then clean and seal them. Each were HAND picked, HAND inspected and HAND prepared by me.
Use them for bowl fillers, wreaths, accents, decorations, etc.
