People Gourds Selling Fast!
Starting at $49.95!

A hybrid of the banana gourd, these "People Gourds" are so-named because they are so popular for making figurines and sculptures.

These are perfect when you need a more slender shape (in proportion to the height) and come in a tall and extra tall box option!

"Well, after spending nearly $500 on various power saws to cut open my Welburn Gourds, I finally gave in and purchased a Proxxon Mini Saw. I'm in love. It is super wonderful and small enough to offer me all the creative flexibility I desire. The professional look of my gourds improved 200 percent. Going to try the paints next...I'm sold. Thank you!" - Gayle Renfro

The Proxxon Jigsaw stands up to heavy cutting and is the perfect choice when you want to do cuts without removing too much gourd, such as when making lidded vessels.

Includes a FREE pack of jig saw blades and a FREE foot pedal! Reg. $215.65, Just $179.95! (Supplies limited)

Shown here: This elegant lidded gourd by Heidi Anne Sanger has a thin scalloped cut, which makes the cut line nearly invisible when the lid is on; this is the type of cut you get when using the Proxxon Super Jigsaw!

Beautiful gourd art with cut-out “tree” design. Seen on Pinterest. If you know the name of the artist, please let us know so we can give them proper credit as the artist.

The perfect tool for making gourds with lids, intricate cut-outs, and more!

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
