That horse is a tagua nut? a bunch glued together? Never heard of a tagua nut that big? Do they actually get that large?

hello!
We do get large sized nuts, but not that large as the horse. There are many figurines that are pieces glued together, such as horses.

OK thanks, thats what I thought, now......what kind of glue to you use to glue them together?

[EcuadorianHands.com]

Usually we use Crazy Glue (transparent). But there are pieces, specially large ones, that we also put small pieces of wire in between. Hope this helps.

yea i agree it is extremly hard i had to wear goggles to protect my eyes from the nut chips flying everywhere. I just use a regular hobby knife to keep from dulling my good tools..good luck
