Walnut crafts

Walnut crafts are not only visually striking but also highly collectible. If you're interested in learning how these unique pieces are made, here's a step-by-step guide:

Raw Materials: Iron walnuts

Tools Needed: Tiger clip, hacksaw, and fine sandpaper

Production Steps:

  1. Start with iron walnuts from the Taihang Mountain area, locally known as "pecans." After removing the outer shell, wash them with water, dry them thoroughly, and prepare for use.
  2. Secure the dried pecans using a tiger clip, making sure to grip both the head and tail sections. Then, cut the walnut along its middle belly using a hacksaw, either 3mm or 5mm deep.
  3. Once cut, slice the walnuts and smooth out the saw marks by grinding them with fine sandpaper until the surface is even and polished.
  4. Clean the ground slices and let them dry again. These can then be assembled into various crafts or sold individually, depending on your preference.

In Chinese culture, walnuts symbolize good fortune and harmony. The word "he" (合) means "to combine," representing family unity, health, and prosperity. Historically, walnuts have been used as protective talismans, believed to bring peace and ward off evil spirits. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty once used walnut products to bless his shrine, and during the handover of Hong Kong in 1997, walnut-made treasures were presented as gifts to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Today, walnut crafts remain popular, especially those made from high-quality wild iron walnuts. These crafts utilize the hard, durable shells and natural patterns of the walnut fruit. Through advanced slicing, drying, shaping, grinding, and hand-carving techniques, over 50 different products are created—ranging from large furniture like dining tables and coffee tables to smaller items such as ashtrays, table lamps, and tissue boxes. Each piece retains the original shape and texture of the walnut, showcasing natural beauty, hollowing effects, and an elegant design.

These walnut crafts are considered high-end national handicrafts, blending artistry, functionality, and collectibility. Packaged in elegant gift boxes, they make ideal presents for friends, family, business partners, or for home decoration and display. Whether as a decorative item or a meaningful gift, walnut crafts continue to carry the cultural significance of "harmony" and "prosperity," offering a unique blend of tradition and modern design.
