Default Jack-O-Lantern
Been working on improving my chainsaw bears and my wife decided I should do a pumpkin. This is how it turned out. People don't believe me when I tell them I carved a 40 pound pumpkin with a chainsaw. Need to paint it for halloween now.

That really does look like a saleable item. Don't know if it is worth your time to do, but it sure looks good.

I like the idea about the star cut from the bottom and boring the eyes and mouth. My wife says I'll paint it orange and the eyes, mouth and nose yellow with black trim around it. This one was made of Spruce, so it was a little hard and slow cutting. I did get to try out the Lancelot I got last month, I used it for some of the detail and rounding. I have have to do another and bore out everything and then put a light in the middle.
