Diane, great post, but for some reason I can't get the address to the making pdf to work. I'll keep trying. I'm really interested in this gourd stuff because I raised some gourds a few years ago. I still have a few around fact just four nights ago I picked one up that has been banging around my shop and cut it just to see the results. I not sure yet what I will try to make from it but it will be a small guitar, dulcimer etc. It is shiny inside because I put a finish on it.

Dunno why, I checked the code. Stupid internets.

But the link is also on the banjohangout page above and the link works there. At least it did for me. Worth the clicking for the really good illustrations - especially about two-profile cutting.

Your link had '...' in the middle. The main link for the workshop is http://www.dhyatt.com/craft_workshop.html. The PDF link is http://www.dhyatt.com/craft_workshop/gourd_banjo_making.pdf.
