We've got our 2 pumpkins emptied and awaiting carving. We usually do traditional jack-o-lanterns but are unsure what to do.

Don't want to get too fancy as we are carving with an saws-all and a drywall knife but would like to do something more this year with the face.

Anyone who has done one and has it carved, please post the link here;

Thanks/Glenn

I did a sun pattern in 2007 that came out nicely.

I have several pictures in the 2007 diary after this pic.

This year I am going to do one out of Tom Nardone's two books "Extreme Pumpkins" books one and two.

Didn't much care for how the first one below turned out but the second one was easy and people loved it:

For the one above I liked best. I used a grapefruit spoon that had a serrated edge on it and kitchen knife to carve it.
