“I have used various inks including leather dyes, GourdMaster™ inks…the Transparent Acrylics are the BEST! I love the way they flow over the gourd skin, dye evenly, and blend well without having overlapping lines and smears. I also love the way they are able to blend with other products on the line and can be diluted or made like a watercolor wash with their sister product Formula 49. If you have not tried them you're missing out!” - Debbie Gutzmann

Fabulous gourd with GourdmasterTM Tansparent Acrylics by artist, Caroll Maholick!

One half-ounce bottle of Transparent Acrylic will cover over 70 gourds in the 5"- 6" diameter size range!

With GourdMaster™ Transparent Acrylics you get the rich colors and deeper coverage you might find in an acrylic paint, combined with the wonderful, semi-transparent look of an Ink Dye. It's like having the best of both worlds!

Letters from Customers

"Hello, I just received the GourdMaster Pro Carver II yesterday – couldn’t wait to try it out – I love it!! I’ve been using the Dremel which has been great, but there’s something about the Pro – so quiet, and the handpiece is much more comfortable, low vibration – it was like carving through butter! I wish I lived closer to a gourd farm - not any in my area - Connecticut Thanks, Kathy"

***************************

"I only started working with gourds a year ago. I first bought a Dremel but decided for me that it was harder to use and too much vibration so I bought the Pro Carver from Welburn. It has made a big difference in carving and I love the Pro Carver!" -Peggy J.

***************************

"OHMIGOSH! I just unboxed my new Pro Carver II and even though it’s late, I decided to give it a 5 minute test run.
Let me say, I was happy when I went from a Dremel to the Proxxon. But there is a night and day difference with the Pro Carver! The hand piece fits my hand so much better, it’s lighter and I can barely feel the vibration!! After carving a couple hours with the Proxxon, my hand ends up tingling afterwards. I don’t anticipate that happening with the ProCarver based on what I just felt. Halllelujah! My hand, joints and titanium shoulder are going to be sooo happy!
I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and start carving!" - Lori Smith
