Our guild got another request from the John Ball Zoo for some wooden eggs. They wanted 8 Swan eggs ( 2 1/2" x 4" ) and 4 Stork eggs ( 1 3/4 " x 3" ). Maybe the birds have been neutered?????? Anyway , I turned them out of fresh cut hard maple.. It turns real nice and I have made over 100 gallons of chips so far from their projects with the lathe and chain saw!!!!!!!

Cheers, Jim

Nicely done. I wonder if those are to get them to try to hatch them to get them in a parental mood. My grandmother use to put old eggs back into the nest for older hens to see if they would try to incubate them and maybe start laying again (no idea if it actually worked).
