 *Be Careful Not To Spill Coconut

Then, After You Have Made The Hole With The Nail, Remove The Nail And Put The Coconut, Hole Down, Into The Small Bowl And Let It Drain.

3: Cutting the Coconut

 With The Sharpie, Make An Even, Horizontal Line Across The Circumference Of The Coconut.

Then with your saw, cut along the line you just marked, may take a while, depending on thickness of the coconut.

Make Sure You Have The Good Half Without The Hole In It Cut To You Desired Height.

4: Scooping Out the Innerds

 You Will Need The Chisel And Knife For This.

Just Go Crazy And Scrape The Inside Of The Bowl Till There Is No White Left, Then Sand The Inside.

*Srsly, Don't Go Yourself, I'm Not Liable For Any Wounds Suffered During This Step.

5: Almost Done
