Just got back from Columbia Farms, we pass up all the corn mazes and crowds and head to a quiet farm with an awesome selection of pumpkins and gourds.

love the variety and colors, not all will be carvers but we'll try a few of the funky ones.





And yes this biggun was heavy!

[Raven]

Oooh, they are so shiny!

[Hottie McNaughty]

Cool selection! I do some green 'kins every year but I had one that I carved that Leprechaun pattern on and the darn thing wouldn't die. It was kind of creepy. I layed off the green pumpkins after that for a while

[purple1worm]

Nice bunch of 'kins!

[Pumpkinfreak]

Looking good!

[amandap80]

ooo! Nice! Any plans for that Atlantic Giant?

[DeadKing]

They are great. Like the Cinderella and Porcelain Doll.

ooo! Nice! Any plans for that Atlantic Giant?

I'm torn, maybe a combo carve with Groot and (crossing fingers) Rocket. Or I may just do a huge jack. I'm not super artistic, so I'm not shading or anything crazy; and I find doing fine detail on the big ones just a chore thinning them out and widening to make light come through. So a huge crazy jack o lantern just kind of sound appealing. (Not to mention I've got 12+ carvings to do in the next 2 weeks - foam and real. Time is a factor.)

Will decide next week...

[Ajax]

Do a giant micheal Myers or something easy on it. It will probably be tough to gut and carve. The Kins look awesome can't wait for the finale.

[Zombie Pumpkins!]

Beautiful 'kins, nice variety. I usually buy all the same sort of pumpkins, because I know what usually carves the best. You may be in for an adventure with each one you crack open.

[shaft28]

Yeah, some of those cool ones won't get carved. Nice looking but too thick or like the princess one, turns mushy after a day or so. Got my trusty gutter so we'll dig in and see what happens.

[Mayor of Haddonfield]

Oh man, lots of possibilities for the Atlantic Giant! I can't wait to see what goes on that!

On my largest one this year, I blew Jaws up to 150%, and will be carving that next week. I did the same thing last year and got a great response about it.

That one looks plenty large enough for all three Back to the Future patterns as well. Good luck!

[shaft28]

I just took next Friday off so I could dedicate the day to carving that big bad boy. Still unsure what to carve...so many choices.

[shaft28]

Ok a couple quick foam carves to start out. As always I can't wait to post so pre-dremel clean up...but I just can't wait. First 2 the kid picked the pattern.

[chuckwagon]

Oh yeah! Very nice work... I can dig it!
