Amaze Family and Friends—Take Your Pumpkin Carving to the Extreme!
Halloween has become one of the most popular holidays in the U.S., and carving
the family pumpkin is a life-long tradition for many. In Extreme Pumpkin Carving
by Vic Hood and Jack A. Williams, you’ll learn how to create the most amazing,
never-before-seen designs to astound your Halloween guests.
Extreme pumpkin carving applies relief carving techniques commonly found in
woodworking and stonework to pumpkins. Starting with solid pumpkins (no
hollowing is necessary!) extreme pumpkin carvers use simple household knives or
woodcarving tools to create fantastic faces and scenes in the flesh of the
pumpkins.
Inside, you’ll find a complete resource for extreme pumpkin carving—whether
you’re
a beginner or a seasoned carver.
• Getting started: including the history of Halloween and how to select the
right pumpkin
• Step-by-step instructions: using readily available household knives or
woodcarving tools
• Extreme pumpkin patterns: nearly two dozen fantastic designs to review and
practice
With relief carving, you’ll be able to add form to your pumpkin carving by
creating actual cheeks, lips, eyebrows and more—instead of just cutting out
solid shapes. This gives you an almost endless opportunity for creativity and
unique expression, resulting in a one-of-a-kind Halloween pumpkin that will be
the talk of the neighborhood!
