Looking for a gourd canteen or a gourd that is pretty much ready to be turned into a water carrier.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Dave

If sent as a finished canteen, might be a different story. Customs is funny about agricultural items - some cheeses and processed/cured meats are verboten while tomato paste is not(?). Go figure... |

They are picky and I get worried with things sitting for ages in a customs warehouse... had some arrow shafting from the UK get lost for about three months. |

In all seriousness do you feel customs would be a nightmare? Well probably no problem from customs, my youngest son ordered gourds from China, but when they arrived we found that they were very small ! I am still looking, I was hoping to at least get some seeds so I can grow my own. Keith. |

Hawkeyes,
I just saw your post (I had a separate post looking for a canteen). I would also be interested if possible and you have any left.
Are there particular period correct ways to strap or tie these one?

Hawkeyes, I just saw your post (I had a separate post looking for a canteen). I would also be interested if possible and you have any left. Are there particular period correct ways to strap or tie these one? Hawkeyes has a good thread on here regarding making/finishing and use of these. Poke around a bit, or go to his profile page and look at his list of topics and you should find it. If not, you know how to reach me. |
