This gourd is smaller and thinner than most of the gourds Kenny designs.

By the way, did I tell you that Kenny grows, dries, burns, paints and clear-coats ALL of these gourds? Yeah, it’s true!

This apple-shaped gourd is a prime example of Kenny's originality. Maybe all ourpathways look something like this.

I believe Kenny did this one during the Winter of 2004. Not bad, not bad at all!

My favorite Gourd

Kenny said he never wanted to sell his gourds. Even when people offered him hundreds of dollars! But lately, when he talks about his retirement, he’s not sure if he’ll play guitar or if he will sell his gourds. I think he should do BOTH!

Here’s a gourd Kenny gave me back in ’03.
