I started growing some gourds when we moved here. My main work requiring a shop full of heavy duty wood and metal machinery, I've found it satisfying and reassuring to do something the tools for which can be carried around in a little tool kit. The main two tools are a little Exacto brand saw and a $15 woodburning tool. The mottled surface of the gourd happens during the 4 months it takes it to dry out. The gourd gets all moldy and causes interesting discoloration.
