"The Fili-Point Burr is awesome! The cutting action is powerful and smooth, like cutting through butter, so it leaves a clean edge - this means less sanding for me (always a good thing!). From tiny filigree holes to larger cut-outs, this burr easily does it all!" - Mary Gehley
Shown above, Fili-Point Burr. Perfect for filigree carving, cut-outs, and much more!

There's Still Time to Get the Box of 'Limited Edition' Premium Tall-Body Gourds!
Great for Ipu Heke Bottoms!
Box of 3, $99.95! (Quantities Limited)
These premium quality, Tall-Body gourds are sought after by both artists and musicians alike!
Shown above, examples of our 7"- 7.9" diameter premium quality, Tall-Body gourds (aka "ipu heke bottoms"). Height ranges from 13”-16” on average.
In addition to artwork, premium Tall-Body gourds are also used as the bottom of an ipu heke, which is a percussion instrument often used in hula dancing.
Shown above, finished Ipu Heke by Black Pearl Designs.
An ipu heke is made from 2 gourds put together, and the bottom gourd is usually a premium quality tall-body gourd.
The bottom gourd must have a flat bottom and must be fairly symmetrical in shape. Because these gourds are so difficult to grow, they are priced higher than other gourds of the same diameter.
Please note: Because it is a lengthy process to match a top and a bottom gourd to make ipu heke, and it is also a specialized skill, we are unable to provide the staff to assist with this.
The best way to find a matching top is to come to the farm in Fallbrook, CA and select them yourself.

Creating gourd art has changed my life and enhanced it in so many ways. Thank you for the work you do, so that artists can have such a wonderful “canvas” to work with! I’ve been a loyal customer since around 2000 and will continue to be. (PS. I love the ornaments!) Happy Holidays to you all!" -Diann
