Well, I made a bunch of these so I figured I might as well enter them in the challenge. Cut from Birch ply and either left natural or painted with acrylic. Final finish of clear acrylic.

This is a 24" tall pumpkin man I carved with my new Makita 12" electric chain saw as my 4th project.

I have had this plan around for a while. Now that we live near the kids I decided to do it. I even had a dinner for the season. We had Mummy Head Meat loaf, Bloody maggot rice, asparagus weeds and eyeball deviled eggs. I love being grandma! The Haunted House is outdoor paint grade plywood...

A friend of mine who is a Florida Gators fan has a son whose birthday is Halloween. He asked if I could make his son something that would help with his school work. What could one do - Florida Gator fan, birthday on Halloween what better than a desk with a permanent costume! This was built...

Since I was a kid, I wanted a creepy cemetery in my front yard. Not the blood-n-guts kind, something more along the lines of Hitchcock, who was famous for leaving the scariest parts up to your imagination. Nevermind, said my folks, not under our roof. You want a cemetery, you can do it in...

Ok I know these are a pretty weak project but my wife is a fan of the mouse so I made these for her while she was on a business trip. When she saw them you would have thought I had given her diamonds and pearls, yep I got a good one :D. I basically cut them out with a bandsaw from some pine...

Or in this case, in the wood shop! I don't know if it's fair or not, I had made this mobile a few years back for Halloween. Did hang them on the porch one year and they looked really cool, fluttering around in the breeze! There was a light near them which cast shadows to make it appear like...

I was turning a small walnut bowl the other day, when I realized I'd turned it just a little more than I should've, and when it became a little too thin, it broke. I thought the breakout looked like the teeth in a jack-o-lantern, so I carved out the eyes, eyebrows, and nose with a chip carving...

I didn't have time to make a new project for this contest. I found this little guy rotting away in our backyard. The poor guy lost his right paw. The ants took over, & ate too much of him. He's carved from an old Cottonwood tree, which isn't too weather resistant. Besides being a delicacy...
