Pumpkin #2

[John Beaver]

Commission for a client who saw one I did a while back.

This one is made from Eucalyptus and turned end grain so the grain travels through the stem. I leave the walls somewhat thick so it feels heavy like a real pumpkin.

Overall it's 8" to the top of the stem and 7" diameter. Finished with Deft Spray Laquer

very unique and innovative. Displays your considerable skill!

[Bernie Weishapl]

That is a beauty. Really nicely done.

[Steve Vaughan]

That thing looks almost like the real deal! Great job with that. Love the creativity.

[Baxter Smith]

Great concept and execution!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Wow - that's really cool! Love the vine finial!

[John Keeton]

John, that is fantastic!! The carving work and detail on the stem is perfect, and you did an excellent job on the dye work, too. I would have been horribly tempted to do a jack-o-lantern cutout!!!!:eek: Glad you had more restraint!

[Tim Thiebaut]

That is very impressive, did you carve the stem all by hand?

[John Beaver]

Thanks for the comments.

These are fun to do, and people seem to like them.
