I saw a news item on the BBC a couple of months ago where they spoke to a guy about 70 years old who is the conkers world champion. They asked him this very question and his answer was that you have to let it pass through a pig!! You can't just get a pig to eat it because it would chew. What you have to do is get someone to shove a stick in its mouth first so that it can't close its teeth together, then throw the conker into its throat so it swallows. You then just have to check its poo everyday to find the now hardened conker. He was the champion so I guess he knows! And yes, this was a genuine news item.
Good luck!

This is what to do, this is not a wind-up. Feed the conker to a cow and when it come out the other end? Yes! that bit The conker will be super hard.
Remember wait until it comes out or all you'll get is a pat in the head.
Good luck, remember the gloves.
This is a old way to harden conkers and is 100% true dude.

Hardening Conkers

They tried this out on the TV show Brainiac. They tried varnish, cooking it, pickling it, using an old hard conker from the previous year and rolling a new conker around in hand cream.
The best out of the lot was the one rolled in handcream, but an unaltered conker still beat the lot of them!!

The best way to make a conker stronger is too wait a year, the more mature a conker the stronger it gets, so lay them down in the back off your sock draw until next year.

Drill a hole through a ball bearing, then paint it brown.
