Easy Beginner Gourd Project: Red Rose Gourd Ornament

FREE Color of Your Choice When You Buy 2 or More Bags of "Fancy-Hook" Ornaments!
Starting at Just $29.95 per bag!
Offer ends Friday, 3/25/22 at midnight.

Bag of 6 Extra Large “Fancy Hook” Ornaments, 3.25"-4.5” in diameter

These fabulous Craft-Ready "Fancy-Hook" Ornaments are LARGE size ornaments made from Mini gourds. They range in size from 2.5 to 4.5 inches in diameter and come with an eye screw already attached in the perfect spot so they hang beautifully!

Keep in mind, these Craft-Ready gourds are hand-selected for size and symmetry, so they are gourds that you might not find if you were to order a regular box of cleaned Mini Gourds.

Each ornament includes a fancy, scroll style hook to give it a look of elegance.

Perfect for Birthday or Mother's Day Gifts!

I was recently privileged to receive the ornament gourds...cleaned with screw eyes and fancy hangars. They are so perfect! Exactly what I wanted, superb ornament gourds! Even arrived two days early. Thank you Welburn for your excellent product and service. You are the best!" Sincerely, Barbara Kemple

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
