PUMPKIN STUMP
This is the first stump carving I've tried.
In the spring of 2014, I started out with the idea to carve a ball and hand but I soon found that with the limited tools I had to use it was very difficult to make the ball round.
Eventually I added a stem and leaf on it thinking that I would make it into an apple with an arrow through it. That idea soon faded as it soon became obvious that due to the lack of room around the carving that the an arrow sticking out the side would likely be broken off.
Halloween soon approached so I decided to cut the leaf off the stem and turn the ball into a pumpkin and at last the carving was born!
