The Snake watermelon was designed to 60 years birthday party of a korean man. According to korean traditions 60 years anniversary is the most important date in a human life together with 1 year and wedding.
The family of the birthday man asked me for a snake pattern on watermelon to match the Snake Chinese Horoscope of him.
Here is the result of my work. It was not easy to carve the snake because the watermelon's skin was hard.
I used 3 knives for the snake design:
thai knife with flexible blade for the small details,
Triangle thai knife for taking skin off inside the snake pattern,
a bigger knife for taking skin off around the snake.
The frame design done with big U-knife and small V-knife.
