Thank you for sharing the links here, William!

I am glad that it is not limited to Facebook only but it is unfortunate that the forum often gets ignored when fun promotions like this happen.

I will definitely be entering this contest.

I figured some of Spyderco's biggest supporters on this forum needed in on the fun too. Good luck.

I bet the member who posted in the Native Chief thread with the skull he carved out of a chunk of wood with said knife would win, lol.

I support you with all my paws!))

Has anyone submitted any photos yet? I tried to upload some but I didn’t get any upload confirmation, so I'm wondering if it went through.

I did not get a chance to enter this one, work and home life just kept me too busy.

Anyone who did enter, please post them here, I would love to see the photos.

Long ago at the Nut Tree Road Side Attraction, they had a WORLD CLASS Pumpkin Carver. Guy was know a Farmer Mike, his working is on the net. Might inspire some people who want to take caring to new level. Google is your friend, Farmer Mike Pumpkin Carver.

I'll post photos soon.

I ended up doing two carvings this year because I wasn't totally happy with the first one. I spent a lot of time carving them, so I'd love to enter both to increase my chances... I only entered one so far but I don't see any rules limiting it to one pumpkin carving per person.

@TazKristi Can I enter more than one pumpkin carving or is it one pumpkin/entry per person?

[TazKristi]

@Mushroom, you may enter more than one.

@Mushroom, you may enter more than one.

Here is my first carving from this year - I like how it came out but I think I could've prepped a little more in the beginning to get a cleaner finish in the end. Either way, I ended up carving a second one after this. The first cut was made with a Lil Native LW but the rest of the carving was done with a McBee and Roadie XL.

"Skullcaps"





The second carving I did is similar to others I've done in the past. More of a traditional style jack o' lantern but with a little twist. This carving was done only with the McBee and Roadie XL. I tried to finish the carving with a Lil Native but I didn't know pumpkins had such a craving for them.

Mushroom,

Dang, I think this is knocked out of the park... amazing work.

[Manixguy@1994]

I like both of them Nick ! Illinois is the biggest Pumpkin producer in the USA . Nestles has a Pumpkin canning facility about 15 minutes away in another town . Lots of pumpkin related contests during annual festival. Dan

Those are awesome, even if I did get a chance to enter I wouldn’t have stood a chance.

I am declaring you the winner, no need for Spyderco to look at anything else. Awesome job!

Now if they need to run a Mule handle making contest of some I might stand a chance.

[Mushroom]

@Jeb Thanks Jeb, I appreciate the kind words!

@Manixguy@1994 Thanks, Dan! That festival sounds like a lot of fun.

@WilliamMunny Thanks, William! I have my fingers crossed that Spyderco likes them too.

A mule handle contest would be really cool!.

They were a lot of work - fingers crossed it was worth it!
