Standing GOURD with tall curving handle: whale or elephant head project?:
$4.00

Sturdy gourd STANDS well and features a extra long curving handle up above. It\'s under 15 inches tall and 22 inches around. The base is well formed, with a slight crease on the back side. While it does balance upright very well, gourds like this are sometimes used horizontally for fish / whale / elephant head projects ... as well as other creative ideas. What do you see?I am including an extra picture in each of today\'s 12 listings of our recent snow event. Yes, grandparents like sledding, too. My wife and I are followed by a couple of grandsons in this picture. It was a lot of fun! If you win just this one sale, shipping is $8. If you have multiple wins, one sale gets the $8 shipping charge and then the additional wins sent in the same box are significantly cheaper. THIS sale IS $2 SHIPPING TO ADD TO A BOX. If you wish to take advantage of the combined rate, please do not pay for any wins until all your sales are completed, and then make just one combined payment. Although will show a higher initial amount for shipping, your correct rate will be applied as you step through the payment process. grades sellers bases on meeting shipping deadlines, so if if you do pay for a win, I am obliged to go ahead and ship, so you may miss out on the discount. It\'s fine if your combined wins span a few days, and although you may receive reminders from , you are fine waiting to pay as long as you plan to offer on more sales. The combined rate isn\'t unlimited, but covers only what will fit in a box. As a general guideline, about six sales is a good average for what fits. If you are winning smaller gourds and / or some of the cut pieces that I list from time to time, then more will fit. If you are winning some of the really big gourds, then less will fit. If I send an invoice saying you have a box full, please pay promptly and I will ship, and then any additional wins can ship separately later on. I don\'t look to make money on shipping, but I shouldn\'t lose money, either. I try to be fair to my customers and appreciate being treated fair in return.Please check my response to see that I try to keep my sale winners happy. I have been selling clean, dry, ready-to-use gourds (and some cypress items) on since 2002, and hope to be around for several more years. Measurements on gourds never include stems; only the main body and handle of the gourd itself. Most buyers prefer gourds with stems attached, and unfortunately during the drying / cleaning stages, a few gourds will have their stems come off. Sometimes I glue stems back in place, and generally you will have a hard time telling which gourds have original stems intact and which have been glued back as replacements. My goal has always been to earn the business of repeat customers who come back for more gourds year after year. If you aren\'t a repeat customer already, I hope you become one!Upon shipping, tracking numbers are entered on the sales. If you ever aren\'t happy after receiving your items, please get in touch and give me a chance to fix the problem. works best with good communication between buyers and sellers, through messages or e-mail rather than by using the response system for problem resolution. I send invoices multiple times before changing an sale status to unpaid, but since you also get messages through and you are the one offerding, keep in mind that timely payment is your responsibility. In the interest of recouping my listing and selling fees, and to help protect other sellers from the rare buyer who doesn\'t pay, I do use \'s unpaid item feature when I don\'t hear from a winning buyer within a reasonable time. My experience is that almost all users are great people and make excellent customers, and I like getting to know the people I meet through . Unfortunately there are exceptions to every rule. Please don\'t be the exception.If you have any questions, please get in touch. And GOOD LUCK offerding!
