Gourd - Hard Shelled
Long Handled Dipper

Once cured, hard shelled gourds such as Dipper will last indefinitely, and can be painted, carved, cut or drilled as you would do with wood for literally hundreds of craft projects. Dipper gourd can be used as a pot to hold plants or to 'dip' water - leave the natural color or paint and decorate. You'll find construction tips inside the package.
