I just tried to carve it like a tiki. You know, multi-layered and also try to remove the orange skin and leave a thin wall of white flesh there so that it will be translucent.

You did Shecky a good turn. Do you think that if you had other holes in the top that the flame light would bounce down inside to help light up the features? Trustar E-mail me
