Once dry.. bag them up. I store them until the shell starts to crack on its own at the crown (usually 3-6 months). Opening is fairly simple at that point. Trying to open before then is why folks grab the hammers.
Hope this helps those interested. Don’t let all those black walnuts go to waste! Enjoy.
