That is how I learn. The more messes I make the more I learn. You did great , it turned out super. Those eyes are really scary.

It's Fall Y'all Pumpkins & Spooky Cat I got the idea for the pumpkins and cat on Pinterest. I didn't use any one particular photo but several to which I incorporated some of my own ideas. I cut all from scraps of 3/4" Baltic birch ply and 1/4" pine ply. I already had some bases cut from pine with scrolled edges that I made during my practice with the router. I used one of them and scrolled a hole big enough to hold a piece of 1 1/2" x 1/4" ripped pine left over from a cabinet I made last year. I attached a PKG of 20 battery operated mini lights to the back (that are a little hard to see in this picture) but look great in low light, then finished it off with artificial leaves to get the balance of fall color I wanted.

All the pictures are wonderful. I'm still working on mine but will post it soon.

Thanks all, you're too kind.

Thank you so much.

Welcome from Alabama Irene, I think you'll like it here, a very friendly and hilarious bunch. I absolutely hate spiral blades. All I was ever able to do with them was tear up my wood, literally. Not for me but glad you like them.

Wow!

These were all soooo good.

Great idea.

I love your choice of woods.they all compliment each other and draw your eye to each one. Fantastic job.

Awesome.

Wow, for a first they are fantastic. Perfect for the occasion. Love them.

Thank you for the encouragement. I'll get to it eventually. It's not like me to give up on anything. I think I can, I think I can, I know l can is what I always tell myself.

I love all 3 Kevin. Well done

Thank you all for your kind comments.
