umm, how cool are these black walnut shell slices? i am completely captivated. i feel like i need to make something with them. maybe use them like penny tiles, and tile a bathroom floor with them. or a sauna. or panel the walls of library.  the texture, and color, and form…it all has me under a spell.

    Intriguing, aren’t they? My dad made a trivet for my mom out of black walnut slices that graced our dinner table nightly. I wonder what happened to it…
    These slices show why black walnuts are so expensive to buy, they must be the very devil to shell!
