Once cured, hard-shelled gourds, such as Corsican, will last indefinitely and can be painted, carved, cut or drilled as you would do with wood for dozens of craft projects. Carve them, leave the natural color or paint these 6 to 10 in round and 3-1/2 to 5 in deep gourds any color you want. Gourds may be sown 24 in apart if trellised.
