When we went to the Dominican Republic,people there have other uses for mature gourd;in the Philipppines,we make it into hats while in the Dominica,I've seen people use the shell as containers for anything and everything-coffee beans,vegetables,anything. Our tour guide said-which I thougt it is amusing but true- some use it as I qoute " for pipi and for popo" which actually means....oh well! LOL! But make sure you're using half of the gourd for that purpose and the other half for somthin' else! Very well done!
