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

"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

"I just wanted you to know how much I like the Fili-Point Burr. It is the best burr I've used for doing filigree cut work. Unlike other pointed burrs that leave ridges, the Fili-Point makes a nice clean cut the first time and saves a step. It can be used for doing small filigree as well as large cut outs. Welburn you got a keeper with this one." - Gloria Crane

"Thanks for my filli-point burrs. I have been having a wonderful time playing with the burr. Wish I'd had one years ago! Keep up the good work." - Simone Doherty

"The [Fili-Point Burr] is awesome! I love that I can just plunge it right into the gourd and it doesn't grab. Because of its size it fits into tiny corners, so I can cut really intricate shapes. The cutting action is powerful and so 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

Premium Tall-Body Gourds Now Available! Great for Ipu Heke Bottoms!
7"-7.9" diameter Heke Bottom - $24.95
8"-8.9" diameter Heke Bottom - $29.95
Up until now, we only sold our Ipu Heke bottoms and sets via Custom Order. Now you can come to the farm and select and purchase them in person!
Welburn gourds are often seen at the world-famous Merrie Monarch Festival in Hawaii. Photo by Dennis Oda.
Shown above, Ipu Heke Set (tops and bottoms sold separately, you must find and select the top yourself).
Shown above, finished Ipu Heke by Black Pearl Designs.
An ipu heke is a percussion instrument often used in hula dancing. It is made from 2 gourds, and the bottom gourd is usually a premium quality tall-body gourd. Because these gourds are so difficult to grow, they are priced higher than other gourds of the same diameter.
Please note: Because it is a lengthy process to match a top and a bottom gourd to make ipu heke, and it is also a specialized skill, we are unable to provide the staff to assist with this. When shopping at the farm, you must select your heke sets yourself.
Our Farm is OPEN to the public
Wednesday - Saturday, 10:00 am to 3:00 pm
Our Farm is Located at:
40635 De Luz Rd, Fallbrook, CA 92028

'Distressed Finish' Gourds Almost Gone!*
This is a seasonal item, and supplies are extremely limited. Order today!
“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
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.)
