How to make coconut shell (shell samples of specified length and width) straight/flat?

13 September 2017 1 8K Report

samples of coconut shell having specified length and width are cut. I am trying to make these samples straight/ flat as the coconut shell are curved (like an arc) in nature. Is there any way or method by which the coconut shell samples can be made straight/flat? Please provide some methods or techniques by which coconut shell shape can be modified.

Dear Alfa Guria,

Long time ago, as a student, I ground a piece of coconut shell on to a piece of sandpaper to get it straight and thin, as such to be inspected under the microscope. I am sorry I do not know what is your aim on it. Good luck
