"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

'Distressed Finish' Gourds are Back in Stock!*
​This is a seasonal item, and supplies are extremely limited. Order today!

Box of 8 Gourds for $89.95!

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.)

Letters from Our Customers

"Dear Welburn Gourd Farmers, I'm excited to receive the Formula 49, ink dyes, and jewelry gourds and look forward to getting started with them.
I've grown and decorated gourds over the years, and learned a lot from watching your videos. These products and videos will help step up my game.
Visiting your farm is on my To Do List. I have a strong yearning to set in a field and commune with the gourds. I imagine this would be a very spiritual and healing experience. When I first moved to Oregon an elderly neighbor gave me the gift of a moldy gourd, and told me it was up to me to find it's treasures. That was the beginning. Thanks for all your help and especially for farming gourds." -Saundra

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

"The formula 49 was a great investment. I can’t believe what a difference it made when using the… Ink. I will be buying this product again😉" - W.J.Napioer

"Love the Formula 49... the fact that it will almost completely remove ink dye is a reason alone to call it a great product, not to mention how well it works to blend the inks. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle!" -Gloria Crane, Gourd Artist and Instructor
