Covered Bowl

Instructions
1. With the tip of the carving knife, lay out a five pointed star around the stem of the guava, and then deepen the cuts so that the guava separates in two, thus forming the bowl and the cover.
2. With the melon scoop, hollow out the inside of the bowl, and then wash it well.
3. Begin carving the outer surface of the bowl. Make a cut parallel to the edges of the mouth all the way around the fruit and then remove a little flesh from the cut to make a groove. With the carving knife, make a V-shaped groove in each of the five protrusions. Insert the tip of the carving knife into the flesh toward the base end of the groove; make a cut to form the edge of the leaf, twisting the wrist to make the edge wavy. Make the other edge of the leaf in the same way. Remove some flesh from beneath the edges and cut grooves to form the veins of the leaf as in the picture.
4. In the same way, make another leaf surrounding the first but without cutting grooves for veins. Make leaves on the other four protrusions and then cut V-shaped grooves in the surface of the fruit around the leaves.
