Get 40% Off GourdmasterTM Protecting Wax!
Reg. $17.95, Now Just $10.77!

GourdMaster™ Protecting Wax gives a high-performance natural finish. It is easy to apply and provides beautiful, durable protection for your artwork.
After woodburning and coloring your gourd, apply Protecting Wax with a soft rag or felt piece. Let it air dry for a couple of minutes, then buff with a cloth for a natural looking finish.

Protecting Wax can also be mixed with the GourdMaster™ line of ink dye or transparent acrylic to color the wax before using it as a finish. The possibilities are endless!

The gourd in the project above was sealed with Protecting Wax. Watch the easy, step-by-step video to see how it is applied! Click here

Get 30% Off Replacement!
Bag of 10 Stems, Reg. $19.95, Now Just $13.97!

Despite careful handling of all our gourds, the mere fact that each gourd must be turned 4 to 5 times during the drying period and are handled an average of 4 more times after that means the stems are very often broken or missing by the time they get shipped.

Stems are pre-washed and packaged in a bag of 10 stems.

Before attaching, drill a small hole in the stem and insert a short piece of wooden dowel with glue. Then drill the same size hole to match the dowel width into your gourd.

On your gourd, cut off any remaining or broken stem, file down the stub using a metal file, and drill a hole for the other end of the dowel. Glue your Replacement Stem in and, voilá! No one will ever know its not the original stem!

This beautifully painted gourd with farm scene is not only a lovely art piece but also a great example of how nice gourds look with their stems in tact. It was found on Pinterest. If you know the name of the artist please let us know so we can give that person credit.

This snowman gourd is sure to make one smile, especially with his stylish candy-cane stem! Artwork found on Pinterest. If you know the name of the artist please let us know so we can give that person credit.

This adorable snowman gourd is accented with a string of lights and a pom pom "snowball" attached to the stem! We love it! It was found on Pinterest. If you know the name of the artist please let us know so we can give that person credit.

Watch the video above to see how easy it is to replace a missing stem!
Please Note: This video shows gourd stems with the dowel already attached. To keep costs low, the current Bag of Gourd Stems does not have a pre-attached dowel so you will need to do that step yourself.

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
