    My grandmother used to grow gourds and then make cute little birdhouses and batboxes with them. I always use to make small cup like things out the smaller ones as a kid. They're really great for storing all kinds of stuff.

    Just a minor tip, instead of using only a small handful of pebbles get quite a bunch of them in there and then do the rotation. It will work much better and faster. It's like a rock tumbler almost.

    I like to wax the inside of any of them I'm using for liquid, but like you said, dry is the more utilitarian way.
    I like one beeswaxed and the rest dry.
    I also like to melt wax and rub it into the outside surface and polish it with a cloth, it seems to hold up much better over time.
    And all that chaff from inside the gourd makes incredible kindling.

      Gourds are related to squashes. If you can grow squash, you can grow gourds. Some gourds are even edible. If you have a short growing season, start your gourd seeds indoors & transplant the seedlings as soon as the ground & nighttime temps are warm enough. Gourds are virtually plant it & forget it.
