I'm sure there are some of you from "walnut" areas here. Have you ever seen a 3 seam walnut? Got one in a package couple years ago. All the others were 2 seam. I've looked pn line and only found 2 seam. Do I have a "lucky walnut"? I may shellac it and make a pendant!!!! I would really appreciate an answer! You know--One of those little things that drive you crazy!

It's an English walnut hybrid. They're usually larger than your "standard" walnut. Hemet, CA, about an hour and a half from me, used to be known for their walnut groves. They had groves of the hybrids, also. Unfortunately, most of the groves are gone now to make way for housing developments and strip malls. Here's a link to a bit of grove history in Hemet.

The hybrids are referenced in the comment fourth from the end. Seems like a Norman Rockwell type of life, doesn't it?
