|  Can I ask????? Unfortunatly I recieved my copy while I was in the hospital and I haven't gotten a chance to look through it yet--major heart attack this time--yes I will be fine-- but my picking up anything heavier than a fork is strickly off limits for a while -----well I got home and headed straight for my shop to kiss my tools and take a deep breath of sweet smell of sawdust and and was thumbing through the extra mag I got with the last issue and noticed a few books on gourd carving.. Has anyone tried these? I haven't seen any in years and I thought they would be light enough for me to play with and they would be a blast to do. Heck I did a google search and saw some beautiful pieces I would love to try to learn so how about including these in with the crafts portion of the mag. after all it is still wood { well, in a way it is } but I don't have a clue how to get started ...besides begging my son to plant me some seeds ..he said he would but now how do I do the rest? HELP --- did I say PLEASE? Then PLEASE. Sharon

| Glad to hear you're alright, take it slow and recover. I have never tried to carve a gourd, but my sister has a ton of them in her basement that she plays around with. She generally uses a roto zip tool if she's not trying to get too intricate. For the more delicate cuts, she uses her husbands electric engraver. She doesn't do a lot of fretwork, mostly painted birdhouses, but she has made some pretty nice designs.

| Sorry know nothing about gourd carving, but I'll just echo what the others said - take it slow and easy and get yourself well again. Glad to hear you're OK.

| Sharon, You might try posting over on the carving forum...I think there are some people over there who carve/woodburn gourds (Susan Irish for one). Bob
