You may look into sourcing different coloured woods in order to get the colour to match the piece, such as yellow for a banana.

I think you have some real talent for this wood working. I like this one for sure!!

My shop teacher showed us a real neat trick, it is called annealing. When you are finished the cutting and want to clean up the edges and such grab a propane torch and pass the part near the flame but only long enough to soften the sharp corners and remove the debris. While the torch we had was feed by a giant gas bottle on the outside of the school you can buy propane torches at any hardware store or Wal-Marts. They are cheap.
