The Copper Canyon Canteen Gourd is a very round, symmetrical gourd that comes to a point at the stem. The shells are very hard and dense. All have intricate mottling like the one shown here. Size range is 5-1/2" to 7-1/2" in diameter, and their height is about 1 inch taller than their diameter (not including the stem). These make excellent bowls and planters, and are great for pyrography and carving.
