    Acorns were a mainstay food source for Native American tribes in California. There should be a lot of history of it on the internet. It take an enormous amount of effort to become edible. The trees were owned by particular family groups and inherited down the generations.

      I remember learning how to make Native American acorn much in 4th grade. Um - very bitter, but amazing.

      Yes! For anyone interested in the subject, I cannot recommend highly enough the book Tending the Wild: Native American Knowledge and the Management of California’s Natural Resources by M Kat Anderson. Covers indigenous use of oak trees and other plants over a span of at least 10,000 years.

I was so glad to see that you meant to paint only a little decoration on it. I think it has such a beautiful natural color.

    I remember doing this by myself during recess in primaryschool. We had a lovely giant oak tree on the schoolgrounds. I would collect the nicest acorns and assemble them into little dishes and teapots in class. I got into trouble for it and was made fun of though. I was the youngest in the class because I was put up two classes. So the "older" kids already had me on their radar as weird. I couldn't stop though. I built a little fairy house and hid it there too. It was smashed to bits. It still gives me a hollow feeling. But I sure loved that beautiful oak tree❤

    In the US there are lots of different types of oaks: pin, white, Northern red, Southern red, bur, blue, and more and more. There have been two hurricanes that have wreaked havoc: Helene hit Florida and then traveled to North Carolina hitting Louisiana, Georgia, Tennesee, and then North Carolina. NC was hit terribly hard- then Milton hit Florida. Horrible

    Thanks again for your concern and comments about Florida. It’s greatly appreciated. I was able to get gas (petrol) today, so that was a happy thing. The local grocery stores have run out of bread, milk, and eggs but they do have plenty of water. I was able to find what I needed at another grocery store farther inland. My daughter lives in Sarasota and she’s still without electricity or running water. It’s going to take quite awhile for us to have availability to the basics I think. Thank you for your videos, they always bring such joy. 😊😘

    My sisters and I made tea sets like that when we were kids! We’d make the bottoms flat, modify the surfaces of some things, etc. by rubbing them on the sidewalk. A coarser bit of sidewalk (or sandpaper) makes sanding go faster, so saucers and plates don’t take long to make flat, nor bowl and cup bottoms. 🙂
    We had both red oaks and white oaks in our yard, so we had two kinds of acorns too.
    If you sand the outside of the cap, you get yet another texture, like suede. You can burnish the caps as well, to get something like snakeskin. 🙂
    Yes, we had weebles. 😁

    I was so excited to see the acorn have its own show. I live in Colorado which is right smack in the middle of the USA. Acorns have been every place I’ve lived. My sister and brother have both made acorn flour which makes the best muffins EVER.. You just have to get rid of the tannin first. It’s a bit of a long process but they are nutty delish!

    A little tip for getting the extra dust off the sandpaper, if you want to keep it... I use a brush. I have one I use specifically for such a thing, but I'd imagine any small brush will do. Mine is rather coarse, originally a brush used for inking, but I think a paintbrush or something would work just fine for dusting it into a pot or something.
