Gourdness Gracious

I was digging around on the back porch and found this old gourd with a hole in it hidden away on the bottom shelf of a cabinet. I turned it over and found an interesting design I had apparently carved into it at some point in time.

I put the missing leg back on, gave it a fresh coat of paint and added leather lacing around the top.

I tossed in some dirt and tah-dahhh… a new flower pot is born!

This process inspired me to build a gourd page over on Facebook. It’s currently under construction but you can take a sneak peak if you want at BrotherJones Gourd Farm.
