Too cool Jason! That’s a really good job. I was planning on using my Coot this year to carve my pumpkin. Since they always rot so quick anyway, I like to wait until the week of Halloween, and get my pumpkin on clearance. Last year I got mine for $1 at Walmart. They also make cool shooting targets when they’re cheap too. Shotgun! *BOOM* Splat! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I’m not a very good artist, I usually make the regular type of pumpkin.

Just a reminder – I remember Warren mentioning that you could use pumpkin (or potato) to give a blade a grey patina. The acids in the veggies do this to the steel. So, if you don’t want a grey patina on your blade, don’t forget to wash it really well when you’re done. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Here’s some pics from my last pumpkin from 2005.

Here he is all lit up.










Aaaarrrrrghhh! It’s a two-headed monster! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />


Kinda like a totem pole…
