Watermelon Basket Carving

More watermelon basket carving, now perfecting my craft. The key is 2 sharp knives; one medium Chef's knife, and a paring knife.

Watermelon Basket

- 1 x watermelon, preferably more oval shaped

1. Observe how the watermelon sits naturally. Cut a horizontal (or slanted if you prefer) slice from the bottom to ensure that your future basket sits flat.
   
2. Using the chef's knife, remove two lobes from the sides of the upper half of the watermelon, leaving a handle portion.
3. Using the paring knife, remove the flesh under the handle portion to better define the handle.
4. Either with a melon baller or spoon, remove the remaining flesh on the interior of the watermelon.
5. Cut decorative designs with paring knife (using optional stencils) into the watermelon.
6. Fill interior of watermelon with fruits of choice.
