    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.

Im just saying that it seems the guy dont like any help at all or maybe he could make a coment about your idea but nop, its kind of weird and im not saying that the creator coment is necesary but its reflect a lot thoo😅

    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.
