It turned out great Andy! I think the color took well. I use a lot of black walnuts and pecans here for dyeing traps but they would be a dark color. You did great brother 😊🔥🔥👍👊
Kind of you brother! I think I could have done with doing it a couple more times and for longer but it’s a nice little experiment😊 best wishes my friend 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Good idea on the bag. Good experiment and worth the try. Apparently black walnut husk can also have effects such as thinning the blood and reducing thyroid hormone levels. Nice one.
Thanks mate! Well every day is a school day! I would never have thought to use the shells as media for a tumbling machine! Excellent idea! Nice one my mate 👌🏽👍🏻👍🏻😎
I enjoyed this, mate! I have a lot of black walnut trees on my property and have been considering trying to make iodine with it next year. This brought back some good memories. I taught a homeschool class on the US Civil War and one of the moms dyed a shirt with walnut shells the way the Southern troops did back in the 1860s. You walnuts look a bit different than what I'm used to. They looked like pecans in the US. Interesting to the see the different types. Thanks for sharing!
Great demonstration Mr.Andy! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us bruv! Hope you and Mrs.Wendy are most excellent and have an amazing week! Cheers, Kimmers and Jerbs #BEUP #DSKFS #neverquitquitting #22ADay 👍🏼🇬🇧🔥🔪🔥🇨🇦👍🏼
Great video, Andy. I might be wrong, but I think walnuts, especially black walnuts were used in "old times" to make pen ink. I rather like the resulting color of this bag. Another couple treatments and/or a longer brew/soak time might darken it a bit.
Thanks my friend! Yes I agree I needed to do it a couple more times and for longer. Thanks for the info I didn’t know that. Nice 👌🏽 best wishes mate 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Thanks mate, yeah I’ve used silver birch before and heard that nettle one too, never tried that one though I’ll have a go next time 👍🏻👌🏽😎 thanks for the info brother best wishes 😊
Great experiment, I'm planning on doing the same thing with nettle to try and dye a big bug net I have, unfortunately it's bright white so defo needs sorting out. Cheers Andy for another vid 😁👍🏻
Thanks mate! I’ve used birch bark before and that worked well especially with older bark that is high in tannins, never tried nettle before but I’ll definitely give it a go! Best wishes mucker 👍🏻👍🏻😎
😂😂👍🏻 I’ve heard other people say it too so I’m guessing it’s not just a dream, but you never know 😂😂…. At least you will end up with some good nettle tea if it doesn’t work 😂👍🏻👍🏻😎
Hi Andy and Wendy 😊, not bad mate, certainly not white now, I'm wondering what Wendy said about the nice white bag she made you,lol. Anyway a good experiment, and as a bonus some nutty scran as you were doing it. Thanks for the video, hope your both keeping well. Best wishes, Stuart, and Megan UK.
Lol… she knew what I was going to do and said why am I going to make it look dirty 😂😂😂 yep I’ll be roasting the nuts and adding a little honey 😋😋👍🏻👍🏻😎best wishes mate
I remember Dad having us kids pile up the walnuts so they could be ran over with the family car. After all the staining husks were gone, then we would crack them and ready to make cookies and banana nut bread
Yes its still doing good, I’ve honestly not used it as much as I could have, maybe a dozen camps, but its still performing well for what I use it for. Best wishes mate 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Thanks mate 👍🏻😎 the shop should be open? I’ll pop a link below best wishes 👍🏻😎 www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?sid=maddogsurvival&_pgn=1&isRefine=true&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l49496
Thanks brother! Yeah it needed a few more goes and for longer, but it’s a little experimental mess abouts lol.., good to hear from you my mate 👍🏻👍🏻😎🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks Andy.
This vid brings back childhood memories,of using this process to dye leather.
🇺🇸🏴👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Never tried dying leather this way either maybe something I’ll try out! Thanks again brother best wishes 👍🏻👍🏻😎

Great experiment my friend. I use crushed walnut shells in my tumbler to clean detecting finds.

When I was a kid we went scrumping walnuts. We couldn't get the stain off our hands for days which didn't help when we tried to deny it!
Lol…. Happy days 😊👍🏻👍🏻😎
If using freshly fallen black walnuts, wear rubber/nitrile gloves if you don’t want discolored hands for days to week.
Yep definitely! Similar to using potassium permanganate for a few days! Lol… I’m a scruffy guy so it doesn’t bother me much lol.. best wishes mate 👍🏻😎

Great way to break it in. 🤘💥🔥
Thanks! Great to hear from you our fat wood queen 👸 hope you’re doing well my friend 👍🏻👍🏻😊😎😘
Hi Andy - hope all is well. I seem to remember that you can do similar with stinging nettles etc ...... salt will fix the colour a bit.
Thanks mate, yeah I’ve used silver birch before and heard that nettle one too, never tried that one though I’ll have a go next time 👍🏻👌🏽😎 thanks for the info brother best wishes 😊
