How do you carve a Calabash?

To carve a calabash, first, select a mature, dried gourd and clean its exterior thoroughly. Use a sharp knife or carving tools to carefully cut away the outer layer, revealing the inner flesh, which can be hollowed out if desired. You can create designs or patterns by carving shapes and details into the surface. Finally, sand the carved areas for a smooth finish and apply a sealant to preserve your artwork.
