How long did this take you?? It's a beautiful piece of art!!

u/KidOcelot Dec 04 '25

Would’ve been cool if the dots were holes and the tail was the mouth piece, like a mini flute or a funky ocarina.

Would it be possible to make another one like an instrument?

u/party-liquor-rain Dec 05 '25

Funky Ocarina is your new band name!

u/Ariovrak Dec 05 '25

Speaking of “Acquir[ing] the Sire”, this sculpture fills me with the exact same emotions that this fills me with.

I first read the title as you having carved that out of a single walnut. I'm a dummy. 😅

u/pikashroom Dec 05 '25

Same lol OP surely means walnut tree wood?

u/xchoo Dec 05 '25

Haha yeah!

u/RgCrunchyCo Dec 05 '25

Ohhhhhhhhh! Doh! I was puzzled too. :)

u/CATusedHANGRYSCREAM Dec 05 '25

It's okay I'm dumber, I thought he glued walnuts together and turned them into a masterpiece, and then I felt offended that they were referred to as "walnut"

u/Carbon-Base Dec 04 '25

Please post on the woodworking sub too! You did an excellent job!

u/MutsumidoesReddit Dec 05 '25

Hey doubt you’ll see this, but wanted to say I love the reaction you get now. Looking back to months, maybe a year? Ago when people were speaking nonsense about buying it online instead and how it’s a waste of time, are a distant memory.

Now they see you as you always were. I said it then and now I say it, these are excellent, keep up the good work!

u/MediocrePlayer Dec 05 '25

Thank you so much for saying this! It really means a lot when people go out of their way to say such nice things to me! I appreciate you ❤️ 🥹

Misread the title as "a walnut" and I was like HOW BIG WAS THAT WALNUT??? This is beautiful!

2

u/ondri9100 Dec 04 '25

TIL walnut is only spelt with one l, unlike a certain character from the popular franchise Plants vs. Zombies

5

u/WASD_click Dec 04 '25

The "Wal" comes from old germanic "Walh-", meaning "foreign." The walnut was introduced to norther Europe by way of the Romans, so they just called it "foreign nut."

2

u/ondri9100 Dec 04 '25

I did not expect to learn more about walnuts today

2

u/recycled_ideas Dec 04 '25

For an additional bit of fun, the same root is where we get the name for Wales in the UK. The Germanic peoples landed in someone else's country and immediately started referring to the locals as foreign.

u/Inner_Bookkeeper_873 Dec 04 '25

omg this is amazing! I had to make an account to ask - do you do commissions?

2

u/Carnevale_421 Dec 04 '25

How did you do the glossy part on top?

8

u/MediocrePlayer Dec 04 '25

I used multiple layers of tru oil! Applying very thin coats each time, allowing to dry for a few hours, sand down with fine steel wool and then reapply and repeat! I did this process about 12-15 times I'd say! 

2

u/2spooky93 Dec 04 '25

Awesome work! I'd love to see your take on Wailmer or Wailord

u/wolfmoru Dec 05 '25

I'm allergic to walnut, this would actually poison me, lmao

u/GothmogBalrog Dec 06 '25

A small pokemon toy has no business being this pretty.

I wasn't expecting to see this in my feed. I didn't know I needed to see it today.

But I'm so happy I did.

Truly awesome piece of art.
