'Bargain Quality' Craft-Ready Canteen Halves
Shown here, Canteen Halves 6-8.9" in diameter.
Our 'Bargain Quality' Craft-Ready Canteen Halves have been created using a canteen gourd turned on its side and cut down the middle. Each gourd has been completely cleaned on the inside and their thick shells are great for carving!
Canteen gourds are almost perfectly symmetrical, which makes them ideal for round or very symmetrical designs!
Please note: Gourds are a natural product and shells may have marks, dark areas, or natural blemishes. Photos are meant to be a general representation and do not represent the exact gourds you will receive.
