You can buy black walnuts ateven Walmart.
Unfortunately, I don't think I've ever seen any ki d of commercial style cracker.
Best I can tell you is a metal/concrete/brick surface and a hammer.
As a kid growing up, we drove by a HUGE black walnut tree going into our deer lease.
Once a year, grandma went to the lease with us.
Grampa had instructions to stop at the walnut tree.
It stood about 50 yards off the road in the middle of a big sand field. Under the tree were several iron ore rocks. Each rock had several walnut sized divots worn in it where others had previously cracked walnuts.
Grandma wouldn't let us go hunting until we had cracked and picked a cupful of black walnut.
Camp was 45 miles from home. In East Texas, don't tell me we didn't drive by several other productive black walnut trees! LOL!
