Premium Bottle Gourds

These bottle gourds are some of the nicest gourds we have available! Because of this, we often have limited quantites available, and they sell out fast, so grab them while you can! Please keep in mind that no gourd will be perfect and that variation is to be expected.

Shipping & Returns

Orders are processed within 5-7 business days before shipping.

We ship orders Tuesday through Friday only. Orders are not shipped on weekends or holidays.

Gourd orders are carefully hand-selected, cleaned, and packed to ensure you receive the best quality possible.

You'll receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information as soon as your order is on its way.

Please Note: The photos are meant as a general representation of the shapes of gourds you can expect to receive. They are not guaranteed to sit flat and may have a round bottom (this is especially common in Tall Body gourds). You can use a Metal Gourd Stand to help display any gourds with a rounded bottom.

Premium Quality gourds offer excellent structural integrity and approximately 90% to 99.5% workable surface. These gourds typically require very little preparation before creating.

They may display a few minor natural growing characteristics such as:

Small pits
Minor scars
Small bumps or warts
Small surface cracks
Slight leaning or asymmetry

These characteristics are generally minimal and are easily incorporated into or repaired during the creative process. A tiny pit may only require a touch of wood filler, while many makers simply design around these naturally unique features.

Because the bottom of the gourd is not typically part of the usable crafting surface, natural markings on the base are expected and are not included when determining workable surface.

Premium Quality gourds are ideal for artists who want maximum flexibility with minimal surface preparation.

For some inspiration, we've provided art work shared with us from our customers below:

Gourd lamps are very popular. Fiona Verlinde made this stunning lamp with an orca whale.

Carolann Chambliss created this beautiful, vibrant bottle gourd art piece.

Bottle gourds are great for making snowmen! Here's two adorable examples made by Cindy Woodside Lauderback.

Because gourds are a natural product, these may have a slightly asymmetrical shape, or shell blemishes in an inconspicuous area, but they are still fabulous gourds!

Pre-Boxed gourds have a satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied, simply return the entire box for a refund!*

*For Pre-Boxed gourds, refunds are given on the entire box, not individual gourds. Sorry, we cannot refund individual gourds from a Pre-boxed group because the price reduction offered on these boxes (as compared to Custom Order gourds) is based on the group of gourds as a whole. Shipping is not included in the refund.

Pre-Boxed gourds are offered at a substantial discount from Custom Order gourds. If you do need gourds to meet your exact specifications, you are able to place a Custom Order and get the exact gourds you need.

Looking for gourds to make a Hawaiian Ipu drum (Ipu Heke Ole)? The box of Bottle Gourds will probably not work, and the best way to get Ipu gourds is to place a Custom Order.

Ipu gourds must be hand-selected by our staff to make sure they have the right neck size (small enough for the dancer’s hand), that they sit flat, and that they are symmetrically shaped. Ipu gourds are quite specialized as compared to other “bottle” gourds, and they are priced as a “Custom Order” gourd. For more information on how to place a custom order, Click Here!
