Very nice! I just ordered a winter candle tray pattern today from Sheila Landry (the 1st time I'll be using her patterns) - was tempted to order the pumpkin tray but trying to actually make things instead of stockpiling patterns. : ) Question: I'm a new woodworker, don't know much about finishing...did you use a stain or paint on the pumpkins/leaves? I like the way the woodgrain shows thru. thx, Suzanne
