Watermelon facelift

Fruit carvings are hardly anything new. People have been doing it for hundreds and hundreds of years. But when its done masterfully, the results can be pretty amazing. Master carver Takashi Itoh takes this traditional art to a new level creating pieces that are beautifully executed with utmost precision in design. His site archives past sculptures he did for various clients ranging from the usual fare of flowers all the way up to carvings of dancers, castles, and even Napoleon Bonaparte. Yes, Napoleon Bonaparte. I never realized that watermelons could be so much more than fruit.
