Natural gourds have imperfections and different shades which add character to the final product.  These hand-crafted gourd windchimes are wood-burned and ink stained.  Coated with 2 coats of Marine Spar Varnish to protect against the weather and preserve the wood-burn and color.  Chime "sail" (that catches the breeze) is a mini-gourd! Total length of this chime is 29 inches.
