Gourd Basketry Tools and Supplies

Woodburning tools, tips, transformers, rotary cutters, dyes, as well as other tools and supplies needed for creating gourd baskets.

Caning Shop Saw
Artists like the Caning Shop Gourd Saw because it easily cuts through irregular, non-flat objects - such as a gourd. The saw's small, rounded ball shoe permits high maneuverability on both smooth and bumpy surfaces keeping the cutting line visible for increased accuracy.
Smaller than the Minicraft or Proxxon saws, yet accepts their blades. The on/off switch is comfortably placed for convenient access. Its light weight (only 11 ounces) and smooth handling, at 4,500 strokes per minute, make the Gourd Saw the most enjoyable miniature saw for cutting gourds. The Gourd Saw is a 15-volt tool and requires a transformer.

Creative Versa Tool
The perfect tool for wood burning, leather crafting, soldering, stamping, paper crafting, hot knife cutting, pattern transferring, embossing, stencil cutting and personalizing. The Creative Versa-Tool features a comfort grip handle, a stand, a reusable case and solder. Use this woodburning tool to create patterns and designs on your gourd baskets. From ArtistsClub.com.

Fiskars Craft Drill
For the times you need to use a hand held drill without using batteries or electricity to decorate your gourd, try this! The contoured handle reduces fatigue and increases comfort and the entire drill housing is constructed of durable ABS plastic. Each drill comes complete with four popular size drill bits (3/16", 5/32", 1/8", 3/32"). Comes with Fiskars limited lifetime guarantee. From ArtistsClub.com.
