Shown here, Canteen Halves 6-8.9" in diameter.

Our 'Bargain Quality' Craft-Ready Canteen Halves have been created using a canteen gourd turned on its side and cut down the middle. Each gourd has been completely cleaned on the inside and their thick shells are great for carving!

Canteen gourds are almost perfectly symmetrical, which makes them ideal for round or very symmetrical designs!

Please note: Gourds are a natural product and shells may have marks, dark areas, or natural blemishes. Photos are meant to be a general representation and do not represent the exact gourds you will receive.

Reg. $41.75, Just $34.95 each!

Shown above, box of 15 'Bargain Quality' Parts & Pieces

Our “Parts & Pieces” box is made from gourd tops or parts that are rough cleaned inside and out. We classify this as a 'Bargain Quality' box because it is a mix of several qualities at a deeply discounted price (some pieces will have cracks, dry shells, or a rough exterior, but other pieces will not).
This is the perfect box for when you need parts for practice or as an addition to a larger piece and also want to save money! Also perfect for kid's projects!

We love the coral reef design Gloria Nobrega created on this mini gourd vase!
This type of design idea is also great if you need to cut away flawed areas on your gourd. Be sure to check out Gloria's Etsy shop here.

Ken Schilling did a similar cut out carved design
to create this amazing floral gourd art!

Letters from Our Customers

"I'm very happy with my Proxxon mini jigsaw.  I am both technology and mechanically challenged and am always overwhelmed when I receive a new tool to use. But this was so easy! I couldn't believe it. Basically all I had to do was put the jigsaw blade in, plug it in and go! WOW! So easy to use. I love it! Thanks for making products that make working on gourds so easy."

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

"The Proxxon Jigsaw is great! It's heavier than I thought it would be, but well-balanced and so easy to use. The foot peddle is really handy. Cutting gourds is quicker, easier, cleaner and safer." - Jolaine Lanehart

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

A friend of mine had ordered your gourd saw with the foot pedal and let me use it. I immediately fell in love with the saw and had to have it. I have received and that little saw is so powerful. It does not disappoint. -Alice Forsyth-Bowley
