'Distressed Finish' Gourds are Back in Stock!*
Box of 8 Gourds for $89.95!
“I LOVE the ‘Distressed’ gourds! I could not believe how thick and beautiful the gourds were and a love the look of having some of the skin on the gourd… I have to confess I washed a few of them just because they were such beautiful gourds and I needed some cleaned ones for another project… Great product! Thank you!” - Barbara Anne, Patchogue, NY
Distressed Finish' gourds are beautiful, thick-shelled gourds of superior quality and shape. These gourds are recently harvested and not washed on the outside. The "newer" the skin on the gourd, the more variations you can get because the skin has not broken down all the way.
We love Eric VanDyke's awesome gourd creations and the way he preserved the natural markings of his gourds! Thank you, Eric, for sharing your artwork with us on Facebook!
To get this look, lightly sand your gourd with 320-grit sand paper to knock off any loose dirt or skin, then spray with a high-gloss varnish. A wipe on varnish is not recommended for this as it will remove some of the dried gourd skin. (Always wear a face mask when cleaning or sanding gourds.)

New and improved Blank Stick ‘n Burn sheets for Ink Jet Printer!
Unlike the previous version of INK JET printer Stick ‘n Burn, which was somewhat thick, this NEW version is thin enough to easily flatten onto the rounded surface of your gourd [see video below]. Yet it is still thick enough so the film does not melt away when you go to woodburn.
Watch the short video above to see the NEW Stick ‘n Burn sheets! [pattern is from the Digital Designs pack, “Vines and Wraps”
Our NEW and improved Stick 'n Burn Design Transfer Sheets have the same great qualities you know and love, including being made with a see-through film for easy design placement and being easy to lift off and reposition on your gourd without tearing or leaving a sticky residue.*

Now you can use the same Stick ‘n Burn sheets in both Laser printers and Ink Jet printers!
*Stick ‘n Burn leaves no sticky residue when peeling off to reposition your design, however, once high heat is used (as when woodburning through it), the heat may cause a small amount of adhesive to stick to the gourd. For this reason we recommend wiping your gourd with Formula 49 AFTER you have woodburned and removed the excess Stick ‘n Burn from your gourd.
Print your design of choice on it, then peel off backing, stick design to your gourd, and woodburned right through it. (pattern above is from the Digital Designs pack, “Vines and Wraps.”)
Watch the video above for step-by-step instructions for creating a gourd pot with the “Vines and Wraps” Stick ‘n Burn design!
Why waste hours tracing lines and struggling with messy carbon paper to get your design onto your gourd for woodburning when you can do it in one easy step?
With “Stick 'n Burn” Design Transfer Sheets your design is printed directly on the clear transfer sheet and because it has an adhesive backing, all you have to do is cut it out, stick it to your gourd and start woodburning!
