Hi, new here.
So, my love for carving has actually peaked in my adulthood. I find that kind of interesting. Anyway, I have started to do intricate patterns the past years, and this is my first time attempting to scrape away the skin on some parts. (If that didn't make sense, not cut all the way through, but enough to let the light shine through). I am not sure the proper/best tool for this.
Note: I am not looking for electric tools - too worried I'll make a colossal mistake.
Another general worry of mine is actually cutting through the pumpkin while scraping.
If you could link me to specific tools online, that would might be best for me, or if you can give me great specifics about a tool I can pick up at Home Depot that would work, too. My search for "groove cutter" has made me more confused by all the results that show up.

Another request: I am actually using a picture and trying to make my own pattern in Adobe Photoshop from it by filling colors for cut/scrape. I found a tutorial about how to do this, but if you have one of your own and want to share, that'd be great.
Thanks!
Kristen
