Wood Carving - A Jack ‘O Lantern Pumpkin!

It’s pumpkin season! So I decided to carve a Jack o lantern pumpkin out of wood. How to, you might ask? All you need is a chainsaw and a grinder! (The saw mill was really only for the viewer) Yes, I burned through 3 batteries just clearing out the guts. It could have been just 1 battery if the wood was dry enough to break out the square segments after checker-boarding the inside of the pumpkin. But alas.

Free wood from a neighbor, an extra light from a previous project and no gas expense, this is a cheap DIY project for anyone!

The only thing I'd change about this project is that the mouth sat a little low. I drew it when it was up high sitting on a table, but when I put the pumpkin on the ground, it hid the bottom jaw a bit. So this pumpkin will have to be displayed a little higher than usual. No problem, really.

We have only a couple of weeks until halloween so you better get to cutting!!

Disclaimer: After decades of wood working (wood turning, sculpting, building projects) I’ve developed unique techniques when putting certain tools to use. In some cases this is very dangerous and not recommended for you to try. If you decide to use tools like those presented in my videos, please follow their intended uses and directions.
