Daily DeviationThis beautiful artwork has been made out of a silver and… a coconut!! Who would have thought a coconut could look so lustrous once polished ? Its warm dark chocolate colour creates a beautiful contrast against the silver tree and the textures on both materials make this elegant cup look very natural. tree in silver by ~dunadair (Suggested by `Dianae and Featured by `Myana)

This is very interesting.

I've never seen a polished cocnut before. :O

Nice work!


( suggestion: you might want to move this image to the sculpture gallery as you will probably get better critiques there )

Remarkable as ever. I'm surprised at how well the coconut shell works in this piece. It's quite lovely.

:) coconut actualy is very beautirful material :) this was my first try, but if i would do everething compleatly correct it would look even better - like the shiny choklet :)

It's funny, I'm surrounded by coconuts and palms, but I never really paid much attention to them as materials. You've rather opened my eyes to the natural materials around me. Did you polish the shell yourself, or had you acquired it that way?

polished :) with the white polishing kit. for amber i think. thats becouse ye cant wash it well :) it like wood sucks water in it - & may crack :( that happened with this tree in some places too... some of the biggest cracks i hide with the brunches, others lok like part of composition :D like i sed - first try of mine :)

You know, I've found that Renaissance Wax [link] is great for sealing wood when I replace my sword handles. When I make a new handle, I usually polish it with successive grades of sandpaper, then linseed oil, then seal it with two coats of wax, which seems to prevent damage fairly well. I know coconut ends up much thinner than the woods I use, but I wonder if it might help you with the cracking?

not exakly...
ye see - coconut shell it self is solid & dont take watter in it. but thin wiens that is in that shell does it. & when they buff they brake the shell in cracks. so - only way is not to wash in watter. maby yust the litle but cold - warm watter wil do the worst.
but & will look for that wax & try it - maby it will help somehow :)
