Every box is hand-selected and includes a mix of shapes:
- People gourds: made for turning into figurines, from snowmen and Santas to scarecrows and folk art characters
- Apple gourds: round and sturdy, a natural fit for autumn and winter projects, ideal for carving, woodburning, and painting due to their dense shells
- Canteen gourds: flat-sided, a classic look for decorative and traditional designs
- Pear/kettle gourds: curvy, versatile shapes for vessels, pots, and sculptural pieces
Premium + Standard, a budget-friendly mix.
Each box blends Premium gourds (90–99.5% workable surface, minimal natural growing characteristics, little prep needed) with Standard gourds (more natural character, same sturdy shells, great for artists comfortable with a little extra prep). You get the best of both at a great value.
