Man, Jazz. Were you trying to take candy from Justen's dog, Bruno or did you get into a fight with that F2?This carving was completed, start-to-finish, with a Fiddleback Forge F2 tonight (Halloween) while feeding trick or treaters. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

The girl has spoken and Madden is the Winner. IT was the multi-media use of the teeth coupled with the excitement of holding a handful of pumpkin guts that brought it out.
Here are Madden's and my submission from the weekend. Will update with them lit up after tonight.

Woo hoo! Madden will be so excited to know that his Jacks won the prize. Competition was fierce and there were some great pumpkin carvings in this thread. Swo, thanks for putting this on and motivating us to do something a little more than throw a pumpkin out on the doorstep. It was great getting to spend a couple hours with the boy designing and carving out these pumpkins. We even planted some of the seeds to see if we can grow any of our own for next year.

Congrats to Madden and everyone who participated!! Let's do it again next year.
In the meantime,SA Condor where's that carved watermelon!?!?
Lol! I never heard from Swo, so I didn’t buy one! My kiddos would have had fun. Maybe next year Watermelons in Bolivia can be an exception! I sure do wish they had pumpkins here though.

Congrats Madden!
I know I am late to the party but things have been busy lately with life, injuries, colds and other projects. We had two pumpkins to carve, one for my son and one for me. I was so busy I didn't even get around to carving mine.
This year was my son's first year carving some of the pumpkin himself. He chose to do a Pokemon character. We took off the top with the kephart. Actually, I did and even having him hold it for a picture made me nervous. He is pretty good with a knife but I don't know if he is ready for Andy's kephart yet.
Here is the pumpkin sitting on our new half pipe. This is one of the projects that have kept me busy lately.
And a final shot with the moon in the background the night before Halloween.
