My latest project....

I've just completed 3 gourds.
Instead of paint, I finished them with polyurethane wood stain.
The pictures don't show how well it really worked out,
but I love it and will definitely be finishing others the same way.

This first one is my favorite:
It's 6 1/2" tall, 4 1/2" wide
I don't yet have the proper bits for the kind of detail I was trying to accomplish,
which made it hard to 'get perfect,' 
now I know!!
 



Here's a picture before I stained the next one:




  

After:
Again, it was so hard to capture the detail in pictures!
(Also, the texture of the inside of the gourd is much different, and not as pretty as the outside.)



The 3rd:
