Yep, those are Buckeyes. No eating them in my house, they're deadly.
Nuts!

No worry. They taste so bad, I don't see how any one could stomach them.

The nuts are really beautiful when dried properly and finished with clear coat. Dry them in the oven for a couple hours, then coat them.
When I was in Catholic school we used to drill holes through them, string them and make giant rosaries out of them. They also make neat garlands for the holidays. I always have a couple on my dresser or nightstand just because of fond memories as a child.
Also, if you are an ornery little kid, they make good ammo when bullies are chasing you!

We used to use them as fishing bobbers, too!

You can go artsy
Used to make figures from them every fall
Sounds like a home business to me... Buckeye Buddies!

It sounds like a miniature Lathe would be in order Prokoff. One could turn many an item.
Heck, even Moss should have one so he could really make fancy fishing gear.
Sitting in front of a winter evening fire turning should be very pleasurable. Maybe some "Good Music" in the background?
