Premium Canteen Gourds

These Canteen gourds are some of the nicest gourds we have available! Because of this, we have limited quantities available, and they sell out fast, so grab them while you can! So named for its resemblance to a water canteen, the Welburn Canteen gourd is well known for its extremely thick shell and beautiful, symmetrical shape. They are perfect for artists looking to do detailed carving.

If you're looking for canteen gourds with beautiful shells with no cracks and minimal shell blemishes, then these are the ones for you. Our gourds are known for their lovely, natural markings. These are NOT considered shell blemishes but are part of the natural beauty of the gourd.

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. Because gourds are a natural product, they are not guaranteed to sit flat and may have a round bottom (this is especially common in Tall-Body gourds).

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

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! If you are not completely satisfied, simply return the entire box for a full refund within 30 days!*

*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.
