GourdMasterTM Gourd Cleaner Balls and Sets Are Selling Fast!
Starting at $18.95

"WHAT A GAME CHANGER!. I ordered and used the coarse grit easy cleaner ball--wonderful. The directions were clear and easy to follow, it worked like a charm.
In the past, I had cleaned 4-5 gourds by hand and that took all day. I'm still new to this artistic and useful medium with which I've made cups, bowls and containers.
This new tool may make my gourd work a new favorite. " - Kristee Nichols

You'll LOVE how much time and energy you'll save when using the GourdMaster™ Easy Cleaner Ball to clean the inside of your gourds!

"Aloha,
The items I ordered are perfect for my gourds. The rough and smooth 2" long cleaning balls have worked so well and have saved time. I was taught by my Kumu to clean the traditional way, scrapping by hand, but after making several this is way better. Shipping was fast. A no hassle buy.
Big Mahalo for providing fun products." - Frank Cruz
