Re: OT- Skinning Walnuts

My Dad used an old corn sheller to remove the husk and tossed them in a cement mixer. He then poured them into a mesh cylinder to dry.

On a side note - if anyone lives in central Ohio and wants any walnuts (unshelled) let me know. My daughter has a couple trees on her property.
