Re: Keeping our impression alive
Here is what I think is the best website that talks about gourd canteens.
www.liv18thc.com/gourdtext.html - 12k. Just do not use paraffin. Use beeswax. They also say use metal bolts to remove the fluff, don't do that . The bolts can get stuck. I would use medium sized arrow heads. Also if you are able to, check out the Book of Buckskining number 2. It talks a little about working with gourds.
