Step 2Prep the Gourd Tops

Prep the Gourd Tops
First, cut the gourd tops to size.
The inside of the gourds are lined with soft fiberous material.
Sand or grind the insides smooth with a special grinding ball.
These grinding balls are specially made for gourds however, course sandpaper works fine too.
Buy the special grinding balls here:

Once the inside of the gourds are fairly smooth, level the cut edges with a belt sander.
