Book Reviews of Extreme Pumpkin Carving: 20 Amazing Designs from Frightful to Fabulous

Book Review: Fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars

This book has some great designs, but they are not for the beginner. The authors show you, step-by-step, how to carve two of the 20 patterns. One design is done in 86 steps using simple tools (pocket knife, finish nail, toothbrush, etc.) The other design is done in 39 steps using carving gouges. You will need thick-skinned pumpkins. Great book if you want to take your pumpkin carving to the next level.
