Beyond a shadow of a doubt, carving pumpkins is one of my favorite parts of the Halloween season

I enjoy all aspects of carving - traditional triangle eyes to elaborate stencils and originals

Between now and All Hallows Eve, I will carve somewhere in the neighborhood of three dozen pumpkins

In my opinion, the best carving stencils are available from Ryan Wickstrand

I'm a big fan of ExtremePumpkins.com. I usually "borrow" an idea from that site every year. :jol:

Carved a couple for my son's Cub Scout Den last night. We have 9 sitting on our back porch now waiting for Halloween. I borrow designs from pumpkinrot. I like some of the faces. Kind of Scary traditional. We also use the Pumpkin Master's kits on a few.
If you don't have your pumpkins yet, check out Home Depot. I've purchased 6 of ours there. Huge pumpkins for $3.99 each. A local farmer's market sells the same size for $12.00 and up.:jol:

Check out my budy Brads site! I am not much of a carver of pumpins, but If you want to learn how to make your own custom patters he has a how-to along with lots of free patters. http://www.carvingpumpkins.com/
