Coconut carving - never heard. But catering people in reception buffets seen making carvings in pumpkins. I gathered from them that they had learnt from catering classes as a part of syllabi in hotel management. Wish you all the best. Regards. God bless.

Thanks for information. I am able to visualise and had the vicarious experience of making the carvings. This reminds me escorting a friendly couple to Mahabalipuram some time in summer of 1970s. It was quite hot and humid when we approached the shore temple. A man was selling tender coconut. My friends to quench thirst ordered two for each. When we finished with drinking and the soft layer, the seller collected the broken shells and threw it to a corner. 3. My friend desired what would the seller do with the waste generated so. The seller replied in broken English “waste Munucipality collect throw in dumbyard”. 4. When My friend desired to have the waste, the seller told him to take as much as he wants. We three carried few from the waste and walked away. 5. While I was wondering of what use the Jap couple would put the waste, they sat under a distant shade of Casuarina groove. He took out a kit from his Bermuda half trousers and began the handcraft. 6. The couple jointly made beautiful dolls out of waste and a while later sold it to a tourist couple and recovered cost of the drinks that we had an hour ago. Such is the power of craftsmen and artisan, they carve out from discards stunning products. Thanks and Regards.
