 Damn, this was a high scoring challenge. Almost every shot in the top 10 was above 7...amazing. There were some really creative and skillfully carved pun'kins in this one.

Just want to say thanks to all the folks that took the time to vote and go out of their way to leave a comment. It's all very appreciated.

This was my first attempt at carving as evident by the crude technique..hehe. I have no real carving tools so I used an old exacto knife and my henkels paring knife. I'm lucky I didn't lose a pinky; wouldn't want to be mistaken for yakuza you know.

I was a bit sad that a day and half after his birth, "jacky" started getting moldy so I had to send him to the soylent green factory...oh well. He was a good house guest when he was here visiting.

(oh, and don't mind the rambling...that's the limoncello talking. I was serious about the thanks of course though.) : )
