	Gourd Artists' Guild Tutorial
		All of the gourds shown for this lesson were carved using just two or three gouges (chisels with u-shaped cutting surfaces), and were laid out using only simple tools such as a compass for drawing circles and a pencil and straight edge for drawing straight lines.
		The basic idea in carving is pretty obvious -- you just sketch some lines or designs on the gourd and then follow along them with the gouge, cutting through the hard outer skin and exposing the softer woody material underneath.
		The gourds pictured above would be examples of "chip carving", and those ess-shaped worms that seem to be radiating out from the centers of the circles are something that just "happens" after you apply a stain if you've been careful in laying out and executing your cuts.
