Step 2Cut the Top Plate
This is done with a Hyoutan (Japanese Gourd) but the principle is the same with your walnuts.
Lay your walnut flat down onto your 3mm thick piece of hardwood. Any wood (except Balsa) you can get your hands on will be fine. We chose maple for this step.
Trace a line around the outside of your nut with a soft pencil to show you where to cut. Keep it near the edges of the wood to save cutting time and limit material wastage.
With a scroll saw cut on the outside of your pencil line, all the way around until the piece is completely cut out.
It should fit nicely up to the flat face on the nut.
