Carved Gourds Seen In the Public For The First Time




I decided that today would be a good time to show a couple of gourds I carved some time ago. They are currently being shown at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center as part of the egg show I am presenting. this will be their debut on the web. They are colored with Min Wax oil based stains. This is done so that each of these pieces will have a very long life. These stains hold their color well over time. Some of the single leaves have as many as 7 different colored stains to get the effects you see here.
