Just this past week I carved 2 watermelons for a July 4th BBQ at Church. One of the ladies that knows my wife figured out that I know how to do these kinds of things and emailed me to see would I be willing to do them with the churches logo, and the summer nights logo they use. I said sure.
It had been over a year since I last carved one. There’s not much high demand for carved watermelons in Monrovia Liberia, West Africa (where I was all of last year). So as you can imagine I was a bit rusty…but things still seemed to go well. The pictures in this post were taken by one of there photographers then posted on facebook at Westgate Church.
Here is a link of an old Christian Chef article that I wrote about watermelon carving. –> Watermelon Carving
Not much has changed since I wrote that article. I bought some ‘special’ fruit carving tools from a site but I have since packed them back in their bag and are currently still collecting dust. It took to much force to make them cut or work correctly which is not conducive to ANY precision graphics and work you may want to do on a fruit.
Moving on…Click on pictures to see them bigger and see more IN the picture.
I Love your watermelons, Son.
