[Sca-cooks] Walnuts and nut cracking devices

[Sharon Gordon]

I am looking for something which does a good job of getting the outer (green
tennis ball like) shell off a walnut.  Any suggestions?

For people who like to save the shells for dyeing fabric, is it better to
freeze them or dry them or ???

I have a nut cracker that does well for thinner shells.  And I was wondering
what pre 1600 nut cracking devices and nut picks looked like?
