My daughter and I share our gourds for crafts.....I think she will make a Native American-type drum from it. Jo

How nice. I hope it makes a wonderful sound when she gets finished.

She has made quite a few...and some have better sounds than others. There are pictures posted in this forum for way back. I'll have to find them. Jo

Hi,
Judging by the size of this gourd, it doesn't look like it could weigh anywhere near 120 pounds - does this photo actually belong on the 'regular' bushel basket gourd file:

It's a great specimen, I just wonder if the photo is on the wrong Plant file?

thanks
Onalee
