Massively curious about your avocado process! Like… how different in texture is the pit from an average piece of wood? Do they need to be more thoroughly dried out prior to carving? Anything special to “seal” them afterwards? Absolutely beautiful pieces, enough to inspire picking up a new hobby✨
It’s a super cool material to work with! Fresh avo seeds are actually quite soft and fleshy once they’ve dried in the air for a bit, and tha
I did a big chunk of text on the “curing” process here in this reblog since people are curious, I think I explained it as well as I can! There’s a lot of time (depending on what type of avocado it came from/the size of the pit itself) between when it’s soft & rubbery like the inside of an acorn and when it’s so tough that it’s almost like soapstone, usually a couple days—so rough shaping and adjusting for a certain degree of shrink is best done in the early stages of curing.
Sealing the product takes little more than layers of linseed oil, brushed on & left to dry for 24 hrs between coats. Ideally want them to have a slight gloss finish while being saturated enough that the layers can soak back into the material & harden appropriately.
P.s. I’m thrilled people are enjoying these, it’s an easy enough process to start experimenting with & I really encourage anyone who’s starting to look into woodworking or small-scale sculpture to give it a shot!

In case you didn’t know, my Jennibeemine blog now has a shop and new necklaces are being posted regularly. I’m also selling these necklaces on Etsy, so feel free to check them out.
My clever son has been carving mushrooms out of avocado stones.
So I've helped him turn them into jewellery.
Apparently I was channelling my inner Davina this morning, but this set? It's mine 😘
