I once found a gourd in my toy box as a kid that I forgot in there a few years earlier.

A little late to the party, but if you decide you want to alter the color of your gourd, or you make another one, you can use leather shoe polish! Just buff it on, let it sit for a bit, then buff the excess off with a soft cloth, and repeat until you get the color you want or the gourd shell stops soaking it up. If you're patient with buffing it afterwards you can get a really nice shine, kind of like an acorn! If you want to get fancy and your gourd has a shell that's thick enough and not too brittle (soaking it in water a little bit first can help), you can use a Dremel to carve in a pattern before using the polish, letting it sit longer in the carved places than on the surface so the carved lines are darker. Alternatively, you can use the polish first and then carve your pattern, giving you a darker surface and light lines. You can use the polish on the inside of the gourd as well, but it usually doesn't shine up quite like the outside. As for drying them, we used to just hang ours on a wire fence outside where they got some sun exposure and good air flow, so perhaps a wire rack on the outside of your shed?

Could you dry gourds out the oven? Rather than waiting a year? 🤔
