Coconut Ashtrays

I was fortunate enough to meet this surfer, he made coconut ashtrays for a living in Mozambique and just surfed. He taught me how to make them and now I'm selling them too.
It's a fun hobby. View attachment 45005

 

Are you promoting the inhalation of smoke? ;]

 

word, thats a really cool idea!!!

you should post a tutorial so i can makez one!

 

They are cool, but an old can usually works for me. Or a shell.

 

Very cool idea!!

 

hey those are really beautiful! too nice to be an ashtray though, i would keep knicknacks in them.

 

In todays market cocos de mer as nature made them are generally the most valued, while those that have been turned into 'useful' objects are usually worth less...have one fashioned into a container with a hinged lid.

 

cool!

 

cool. Ive made ashtrays using weird growths off pine trees. Usually areas where limbs had been cut and knobs created. Just cut em in half with a chainsaw.
