I cut this out of a gourd with my palm held microsaw its a love spoon. I painted the humming bird with pearlised paints.

Thanks Pete and Jerry yes it is Linda. I import the gourds from your country in Missisiipi actually. Again another american thing we can't get here unless we grow the gourds in a polytunnel I have done that last year but only managed to grow 5. My micro saw another import from america is brilliant to saw curved surfaces, glad you both like it. Linda

Hi Linda
You certainly are a very talented lady. That is beautiful work. Excuse my ignorance but what is a micro saw? It certainly produces great results. But I suppose thats down to who's using it.

That is so unique! What a wonderful use of gourds. You did a fantastic job! Will it last a long time? Did you have to do something special to prepare the gourd or just let it get good and dry?
