Wheat Ear Tiger Head Walnut

Wheat-Ear Tiger Head is a classic and top-rated variety in the Tiger Head family, named for its distinct, neatly packed grain pattern that perfectly resembles ripened wheat ears. It features a medium-high to tall stature with broad, full shoulders, thick and straight ridges, and a flat, slightly concave base with an elongated, narrow navel. The grain is defined by thick, unbroken main ridges flanked by fine, orderly secondary lines, creating deep but smooth grooves that are comfortable to handle without being sharp. It possesses agolden-yellow waxy skin with exceptional density, a heavy, solid feel in hand, and a crisp, resonant sound when tapped. This walnut is high in oil content, quick to color and polish, maturing into a deep, lustrous date-red or oxford-red patina with a thick, glassy finish.
