I would like to describe a piece of furniture that I like. It is a carved coconut tree, a colonel or coconut or colonel tree. It was given to my father Abad three decades ago when he did his shift and sit title. Many people came with different gifts but that’s a carved coconut tree entered my eyes because it’s unique and durable because I said was given to him as far back as 30 years ago that I can tell you that he’s still in my house because of the durability of that material and how it is made and is unique. That’s why I really like it. Up to today we are using it to serve cola to people that comes to our house and anytime a person enters our house and we use it, the person normally comments about it because of how it is has not cracked and the durability. Having said that recently I look for an artist and showed him that particular one and that I would like to have something like this if you were able to create it and carve it for me. Though he did it he was able to do it but I can tell you that it was not, he could not, you know he cannot equate it with that one because of the, their structure if you look at the two there’s difference. So that is what is the piece of furniture that I have that is very unique to me and I’ve cherished for years in my house.

I would like to describe a piece of furniture that I like. It is a carved coconut tree, a colonel or coconut tree. It was given to my father, Abad, three decades ago when he did his shift and sit title. Many people came with different gifts, but that carved coconut tree caught my eye because it's unique and durable. I can tell you that it's still in my house because of the durability of that material and how it is made. That's why I really like it. To this day, we use it to serve cola to people who come to our house, and anytime a person enters our house and we use it, they usually comment about it because it has not cracked and its durability is impressive. Having said that, recently I looked for an artist and showed him that particular piece, asking if he could create something similar for me. Though he was able to do it, I can tell you that he could not equate it with the original because of their structure. If you look at the two, there is a difference. So that is the piece of furniture that I have that is very unique to me, and I have cherished it for years in my house.
