A log transforms into a watermelon

I love watermelons and have made and/or bought a bunch of them over the years.   This little watermelon was a slice of palm tree that sat in my outdoor shed for at least 20 years.   I have moved it time and time again and thought each time I should paint it.   Last week I cleaned out this shed and threw away a bunch of stuff and decided the time is now.

 

Now I know it has taken me a really - REALLY - long time to get this project done!   It sure looks cute with the rest of my watermelons.
