One of my hobbies.

A few years ago, I took a class on carving gourds. It has been so much fun. Even though its time consuming I have really had a lot of fun. I have sold a couple and I have given alot of them away,and of course I have kept quite a few.The gourds that I am carving I grew in my garden a few years ago. You have to let them dry,clean the outer skin off from them aqnd then carve them. It takes about 3 days to completely finish one.These first pictures are one before I carved on, and then the finished product.Then the next pictures are ones I have done and kept.
