The trip to Arkansas really drained me. I think I was running on adrenalin after I got home, which ran out really quick!
I did decide they would be birdhouses. So outside I went with all the needed tools in hand.
**A face mask to protect me from the gourd dust, which can and has caused me some sick days in the past!
**A drill, with the proper hole bit to cut the openings.
**And finally a gourd scraper to get all the seeds and gourd membrane out through that tiny hole!
So there you have it. My famous pic of unfinished and pushed aside gourds.
Heavy Sigh!

I sense there will be some lucky birds in the near future! That's quite an undertaking!
Wow, all that gunk was inside?
Is that a custom made tool or a special one to clean out gourds?
Ohh this looks so familiar. LOL
Have a great weekend

Popping in to say a belated hello.

No birds for these houses when I get them finished.
Yep all that gunk came out of only two of those gourds.
That is an actual gourd tool made for cleaning out gourds. I'm sure it was invented by a gourd artist!
Nicole I forget you do beading on gourds! Awesome beading I might add!
