hmmm, well now as to gourds, I really like to work with canteen and pear shaped ones, but really anything that I can work a design on that allows me to use the stem end as a top that can be used as a lid. I discovered I can use joint compound to finish the inside of the gourd, it's nice a smooth and adds a little weight to the pot.

This is one I did ten years ago for Ken, the lid is cracked now so I guess I'd better mend it. The tail is the stem-end of the gourd and the top lifts off so Ken can stash stuff in it. I gave away all the others.
