Official Hat “Woodpecker” Wenwan Walnut Pair — 34.0mm x 36.0mm | GMZF-1201E

A distinctive Official Hat Wenwan walnut pair with a naturally developed profile that recalls the shape of a woodpecker. Measuring 34.0mm x 36.0mm, the pair combines compact body size with elongated forward-pointing edges, giving each walnut an expressive, beak-like silhouette.

This appearance gives the pair its collector nickname “Woodpecker”. The name refers only to the natural visual form of the shells; the walnuts have not been carved or reshaped to create that look.

Both walnuts show a closely related structure, with similar body volume, ridge direction, pointed fronts, and warm shell tone. When displayed side by side, the pair has a lively, directional character while still retaining the balanced, grounded feel associated with the Official Hat variety.

This is a one-of-one listing. The pair shown in the photographs is the pair you will receive.

The Story of the Form

Official Hat walnuts are appreciated for their defined structure, balanced profile, and distinctive edge development. In this pair, the natural shell growth creates an especially expressive silhouette.

Each walnut shows a forward-tapering ridge line that extends outward into a narrow point, while the upper shell remains layered and textured. From the side, the combination of a compact rounded body and a projecting pointed edge creates the impression of a small bird’s head and beak — the reason collectors describe this form as “Woodpecker.”

The matching is especially appealing because both pieces share a similar stance and directional flow. Their proportions, shell tone, ridge placement, and texture density are well coordinated, while the natural individuality of each walnut remains visible.

Product Characteristics

• Expressive “Woodpecker” profile: The pointed front edges create a lively, beak-like silhouette.

• Compact proportions: At 34.0mm x 36.0mm, the pair is comfortable in size while still visually distinctive.
• Coordinated pairing: Both walnuts show similar shape direction, body volume, ridge flow, and shell color.

Care

These walnuts have already been pre-cleaned and base-brushed. During the first month, store them in a sealed bag when they are not being handled, allowing them to acclimatize gradually to your environment.

Handle them with clean, dry, bare hands and brush the grooves gently with a clean, dry walnut brush. Pay extra attention to the recessed texture around the raised edges and pointed front sections, where dust can naturally collect.

Keep them away from water, oil, direct heat, and prolonged sunlight.
