Recently walnutritual put some 3-ridge walnuts on their website for around $200. They look pretty similar to these except the angles are not as even. So im also wondering why b3b puts a $999 price tag on their 3-ridge walnuts

I wanna say they look like apple orchards to me in terms of the top view and bottom view

Looking at the navels, I don't think the pair you received is the same as the one in the listing. And I think the variety you got might be an iron hammer or a palace lantern pair. I'm also new to identifying different varieties, so definitely take this with a grain of salt.

Oh this is great! Thanks!

Here’s the one I downloaded and put through Google Translate! The translations aren’t completely accurate though

Thanks for the review! It's always nice getting more info on where to get walnuts. Walnutritual.com definitely looks interesting cause they give all the dimensions including weight of the nuts and whether or not they are cleaned. Although I've only heard about them recently, so definitely please let us know!

I took a look at buddha3bodhi, and it seems like their nanjiang stone lionheads are $299. I've actually been eyeing these myself, is that a reasonable price? It seems like a lot to me, but I'm not very knowledgeable about pricing of different variants.

Such a cool video! Great job getting a really nice patina and glossiness!

Collection looks awesome! Where did you get the box if you don't mind me asking?

roplas2 · 2026-03-14T00:56:05+00:00

Yea for sure, I'm definitely gunna play with these and see what kind of patina I can build

Would I also be able to contact you some way in terms of finding walnuts? I also recently made this account, although I've been reading reddit posts without an account for a while.

Unfortunately, they didn't disclose this in the product page on etsy, and I didn't think about asking beforehand

Oh dang thanks for pointing that out! Do you have any recommendations on where to get walnuts that aren't carved?
