Inspiring! How to you treat the gourds? Looks like a great way to build birdhouses.

(Looking at stunning woodwork and I gotta be the guy to ask about the gourds.)

I love the gourd art! You sand them with 120 then use 1/2 shellac 1/2 denatured alcohol. Easy. Color comes from alcohol ink or leather dyes.
