Wow, that is cool Scott
You must have a very steady hand to be able to have done such a neat job.

What tool did you use?

:thumbsup:

Thanks, I just used an exacto knife to make the perimeter cuts, then used another knife with a flat blade to remove the material.......

Believe it or not, it's really not that difficult.. I transfer the image to the pumpkin with a pattern, then I cut them with a small saw.. The tough part is where you have thin lines, you really have to watch the angle that you hold the saw..

I used to to relatively simple carvings, & have worked up to the more detailed ones.. It's loads of fun too.. Heck, my kids did the ones on the ends (skull & face) and they're only 9 & 12 years old.. So give it a try :thumbsup:
