Default preserve buckeye nut

I would like to preserve buckeye nuts for crafts. I assume I would
have to treat the buckeye so it wont eventually fall apart. I was
wondering if anyone could make some suggestions as to any chemicals or
processes I could use.

Thanks in advance!

When I have preserved buckeyes all I did was put them in a oven at 200 degrees
for a few hours to kill any creepy crawlies in them. I cooled them and then
you can spray them with clear acrylic spray to keep them shiny. They will last
for years.

Hi Todd

I don't think you have to do anything to them.

I was given one 4 years ago and have carried it in my pocket ever
since. Despite the coins, keys and other paraphernalia I carry in my
pockets, it still looks like the day I got it.
