Some chainsaw carved pumpkins a little different than the norm

[Woodwizard]

I make these year round along with a variety of other carvings, I enjoy doing them and they sell really well at art shows.

They are hollowed out for led tea lights

1. These are great Woodwizard!

You do all that with a chain saw?

If I ran into your booth at an art show, I would very likely become a customer!

[Woodwizard]

2. Yes primarily

There is some shaping done with die grinders I burn them and texture with a wire brush wheel. Then staining and painting.

My booth is non traditional too, we use our trailer my wife made the skirting for it, works better displaying my work than a white tent.

5. Yes, but mine is literary interpretation, emphasis on the new testament. Not exactly crowd

winners! Used to be classical ballet, but I think it ruined me! I'm forgetting fostering orphaned animals, a money pit if ever there was one! You're right! I'm hugely talented!!!!!!!!

7. These are awesome.

I'm guessing - do you use Dremel tools for any of it - the finer work - or other tools?

Do you sell online?

[Woodwizard]

11. I do use die grinders on some of my work in detail areas.

The pumpkins are primarily chainsaw then burned and wire wheel brushed for texture.

I sell some stuff online more over the winter, I have a hard time keeping enough stock for shows.

8. These are great and so fun!

I adore Halloween and this year it looks to be quite popular since it seems to have started sometime in August. I sometimes put on a Halloween happening at work with a very talented co-worker. It was great fun! People loved it and gushed over how “talented” we were. I thoroughly enjoy Halloween! We included giant spider webs, skeleton bones and skulls and a lot of glu and paint and other Halloween decorations. We even added decorations for the Day of the Dead!

Love your work! It’s display ready! I hope the kids think your house is the best one! Have you ever thought of carving skeleton bones out of branches? I bet you’d do a great job on those too!
