Award Winning Bronze, Silver & Fine Art Foundry
Dinsdale Petch Fruit and Nuts
Walnut
So tactile - our best selling nut.
Several customers have told us how much they like to handle their bronze walnut whilst on the phone - a satisfyingly relaxing occupation and brings out the deep rich tones of the patina too.

Brazil Nut
Incredibly detailed nut with an amazing story.
Brazil nuts begin as flowers high up in the canopy. Before the flowers fall to the ground and feed the forest floor many are pollinated by orchid bees with long specialised tongues. These bees are native to undisturbed rain forest and this is just one of the reasons that brazil nuts can't be grown in plantations.
Eventually the mature fruits fall to the ground where many are collected by the local castaneros (Brazil nut harvesters). A swift precise cut with a machete opens the fruit containing around 20 brazil nuts.The nuts are extracted from the pods and dried in the sun to prevent rot and ease peeling then carried out of the forest in sacks, on rafts or in canoes to the ports to be exported.Back in the forest the cycle has not ended.
The empty Brazil nut pods collect rainwater and become home for tadpoles and larva. recently scientists discovered a species of frog specialised only for breeding inside empty Brazil nut pods.

Macadamia Nut
Unusual to see whole in their shells in this country. Our friend risked his hand to wrest some examples of this Hawaiian nut from a parrots cage. They are incredibly hard to crack open (unless you are a parrot).
We call the finished bronze versions Macadamia marbles due to their pleasing cool roundness - very tactile indeed.
