Caring for Your Calabash Mate Gourd

Hello brother, greetings from Uruguay. I tell you that mate for us Uruguayans is more than a drink is a friend is a company for everyday and is part of our culture as a country, makes me very happy that you share something that is very important for Uruguayans.

Before the introduction of natural bombilla drinking straws, Guarani indians drank directly from their calabash mate gourds using teeth as filters for the leaves & stems of the 'yerba'. Spanish & Portuguese settlers invented the metallic bombilla.

My calabash mate is cracking at the bottom. Is that normal? What should I do to prevent that from happening?

Should I wait a few days for my wooden gourd completely dry out each time I use,  as well as calabsh one?
