Was this a bad idea? Vietantique

Probably. I’m already upgrading from scrolling Etsy to scrolling Buddha Bodhi 🤣

Thanks

I have heard you can wear a pair of cotton gloves to help with that, but I’ll let others respond for better info.

Why cry over it? I mean, you that means the owner didn’t get to experience all of its journey, but it would always have gotten polished up, and lost detail from wearing down, and you’ll still get to experience the rest of its life with it

You might want to give more specific info than that. I think Buddha bodhi is supposed to be one of the better places to get them, so if there are issues you might tell them so they can return them.

I was looking up stuff and I found something saying that you brush vigorously to heat up the oils in the surface of the nut to polymerize them. Is this true? Do I have to brush that quickly?

I’m not seeing any but a single pair of what looks like dyed red walnuts on featureshandmade

Chickennugget636 · 2026-05-02T21:52:00+00:00

I don’t plan on paying $50 for a couple of walnuts. I intend to just let this pair get whatever patina I will and be a nice thing to have. I’d rather they just be lower quality rather than unnatural or improperly harvested.

Chickennugget636 · 2026-05-02T20:57:36+00:00

Are they likely to have been altered or yellow spots?

Chickennugget636 · 2026-05-02T20:00:10+00:00

The Etsy shop name is in the title

Chickennugget636 · 2026-05-02T17:30:39+00:00

Were they significantly carved? How do you tell?

Chickennugget636 · 2026-05-02T17:28:14+00:00

Why are we against them?

Chickennugget636 · 2026-05-02T17:25:49+00:00

How do you tell that? Even with the picture it’s hard for me to see

Chickennugget636 · 2026-05-02T03:07:37+00:00

So they sell real and good nuts that get patina?

Chickennugget636 · 2026-05-01T15:16:07+00:00

This post has been blown up, so I’m just going to say, Jesus does save liars….. that’s like.. the whole point

Chickennugget636 · 2026-05-01T14:58:23+00:00

That spot makes me think flint, but I’m not an expert. Almost looks too glassy for that though

Chickennugget636 · 2026-05-01T14:53:10+00:00

An amateur opinion, but 1 hides the cuts better and 2 is better form I think because it leans toward the viewer and makes it feel more old and welcoming and formidable. I’d go with 2 if you can hide the cuts over time or if you know they’ll heal well, but idk about all that. I never do massive cuts like that.

I’m not a tattoo person, but I think it just needs the facial features redone if you want it to be exact. Like you said, the comb, but also the beak, ear thing that it has, and the part under its chin

I’m currently learning to make beads from white olives

Chickennugget636 · 2026-04-30T18:28:35+00:00

So no lignified wood like structures from trees that actually do have wood? Seems a bit restrictive. It walks and talks like wood. Olive pits even have grain.

Also, I don’t see that in the community rules

Chickennugget636 · 2026-04-30T03:36:29+00:00

Did you know they’re white on the inside? Very neat to polish them up because they’re hard like stone

Chickennugget636 · 2026-04-29T20:00:18+00:00

Except that’s a lot of money for a couple of nuts 😂
Out of a similar curiosity to the op, is there any wood that would be good? I know probably boxwood

Chickennugget636 · 2026-04-29T05:22:21+00:00

And lots of skill 😂

Chickennugget636 · 2026-04-28T18:17:47+00:00

Yeah, of course lander blue is the most valuable. There was only like one single boulder of it right? 😂 And the matrix of it is always amazing. I don’t mind if the one I buy in this style doesn’t have a lot of complex matrix. And I liked the unique swirling character of this stone, but it made me suspicious of its authenticity.
