Yes, the shells, I hate waste and am always looking at things with regards to making blanks from them, the nuts were great as always, but the shells are just too hard and smooth so there is the risk that they will come loose from the resin and as they are harder than the resin they tend to stick out from the resin after sanding, you can't see they are slightly raised, but you can feel where the shells are.
