Pumpkin carvings...OooooOOOOooh

[wisewood]

Yes got a template off the internet. The supermarkets are selling carving kits for about £2.50 with a book of patterns included. You get a couple of little saws like

coping saw blades and a scraper to remove the flesh.

I'll post the pattern I used, there's a great one online if you look for it of a drunk pumpkin puking all its seeds out:biggrin:

I forgot to add, it's not that difficult when using those little saw blades.

It was pierced right through, I've not tried the paring back technique yet, but I'm off to get some pumpkins today so will have to give it a go.

Found this fine example online to raise the bar:001_rolleyes:

Now those are what you need for the major size petrol roll burners!!!

The puking pumpkin, gunshot wound to head and the petrol fired pumpkins all come from the same site. check out extremepumpkins.com
