Going Coconuts
« on: September 04, 2016, 09:48:49 am »
It's been to wet and hot to beat on rock so I raided the neighbors coconut tree and made some baskets ,and a hat 8)
Just think when I retire I can sell these to tourists down on the beach. ;) I even went as far as planting a coconut tree in the yard so I won't have to walk so far.

Those baskets look amazing! I have a similar hat that I use for gardening when the sun's too hot outside. Nice work!

Very cool baskets. Well done. I would think the tourists would snap them up...I know we would.

Might be hot and wet but sure does make for some real nice pictures with a very nice tropical feel. Hope you leave the neighbors a little shade. 😎

I bet lining one of those baskets with about 3/8"
of clay would be real neat   ???
They are very cool looking  8)
