Unique irregular shape

As described, this is an irregular single-belly gourd. It adds a lot of character to my collection. The hand-twisted stem is intact and sturdy.

Great quality natural material

I was worried it might be too small, but it fits perfectly in the hand. The surface is smooth and ready for carving or attaching a whistle mechanism.

Perfect for my pigeon whistle project

The shape is exactly what I needed for a traditional garlic-head whistle. The gourd is dry, lightweight, and has a beautiful natural color. No cracks or imperfections.

Good value for money

Solid little gourd. The 'garlic-head' description is accurate regarding the bulbous bottom. Shipping was fast and it arrived safely packed.

5 FAQ

Q: What are the approximate dimensions of this small gourd?

A: The small size typically measures between 4cm to 6cm in height and 3cm to 5cm in width, though slight variations occur due to the natural irregular shape.

Q: Is the stem strong enough to hang it?

A: The hand-twisted stem is generally sturdy, but for hanging heavy items, we suggest reinforcing it with a string or wire loop around the base of the stem.

Q: Is the hole for the whistle already drilled?

A: No, this product is sold as a raw natural gourd. You will need to drill the hole yourself to customize it for your specific whistle requirements.

Q: Are these gourds treated with any chemicals?

A: No, our gourds are 100% natural and sun-dried without any chemical treatments or artificial preservatives, making them safe for crafting.

Q: Can this be painted or varnished?

A: Yes, the natural matte surface accepts paint, dye, and varnish very well. We recommend cleaning it lightly before applying any finishes.
