Free Wood Carving Pattern: Bring this cute and quirky jack-o’-lantern to life in just a few cuts
By Alex Joiner, Woodcarving Illustrated Magazine, Fall Issue 2020

When fall comes around, we bring out the chunky sweaters, warm apple cider, and classic Halloween decorations—like pumpkins! Sticking
to the Halloween theme, I chose the colors for this project based on candy corn, a trick-or-treat classic. These pumpkin kids make for excellent gifts or even decorations around the house.
In the tutorial in the Woodcarving Illustrated Magazine, Fall 2020 Issue, I’ll show you how to carve the girl version of the pumpkin, but you can alter the details and size to make any kind of pumpkin person you prefer.
