A Coconut Bowl - Waste Can = Creative Ideas

I make a wonderful coconut smoothie out of the milk and meat from the young thai coconut. I did not want to waste the shell as they are so beautiful. I decided to make a bowl. Here are four photo's beginning, middle and end. I took photo's of the entire process - it was very exciting. I have a few more coconuts, so I am excited to expand my bowl collection!

All you need is large knife, piece of sandpaper, a hand sander, a rag and some olive oil. This took me like 1 hour to do, so fun! I am really going to enjoy making these!
