read your DIY, good tips. I actually made my own coconut hut about 3 weeks ago (via nail and hammer) and I got a nice cracked natural look. If it cracks too much use good 'ol super glue. I didn't bake the shell as you did, I probably should of to save time, but i was able to get the coconut meat out fine with a knife. I then shreded it, added sugar and made some toasted coconut to munch on *yum* you're way will make a more exact cut and probably be safer. But i agree this beats buying a coconut at the petstore (who charge way too much) and you get to eat it in the end, bonus.
