Back to work on Wish List #8 (2018). The rest of the cast coconuts for the Hot Tub Hula Girls were fine enough to proceed. So it's time to clean them all up.

Here are the steps for each one. Out of the mold saved in the bag and still OK.

I cut off the top with a huge knife.

I clean off the mold lines. I recurve all the coconut detail later.

Time for the three dents.

I make a hole in the bottom so that there's no trapped air inside the girl when fired.

I don't have stamps with my name so I hand carve all the information on the bottom of each one.

I will do this to all the remaining coconuts and then on to the girls. I haven't checked to see if they are still soft.

Happy Holidays, Wendy
