Gourd Tool Kit

 Hi Everybody, Hope y'all are doing GREAT ! I know I'm always talking about how my gourd garden is  growing & growing & it's doing Super Fantastic right now, but I thought you might be interested in the tools I use for my gourd crafting !






Gourd Saw



Gourd Drill



Gourd Sander

I bought the Gourd Tool Kit about 10 or 12 years ago & it still works Great !  Does just about everything I need them to do ! You can buy the whole kit or just buy them seperatly.  I also use a hole saw to make the hole in the birdhouse gourds, After I cut the holes or cut the gourd & need to clean the inside I have a tool I use for that also , there are a couple of different kinds but I use this one the most,

Gourd Scrapper

Gourds are a Great canvas to paint on. After you clean them from all the mold , some have the most beautiful natural color that you really don't want to paint over the whole gourd, maybe just a flower or 2 then put a clear coat over them & they are just beautiful! I have one I'm working on now like that so I will post pictures as I go.

There are many many gourd sites that you  can go to & it mostly depends on what your looking for here is a few sites that I really like - http://www.thecaningshop.com/  - http://www.welburngourdfarm.com/  http://www.americangourdsociety.com/  & here in Tennessee http://www.tennesseegourdsociety.com/  check them out theres great information on each of them.
