Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. It’s the one day a year you can be anyone or anything you want to be. We woodcarvers don\u2019t want to be left out, so this pumpkin-headed ghost is my whimsical Halloween treat.<\/p>\n

Carving the Ghost<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

This piece is not hard to carve. Cut the outline with a band saw, and use gouges, V-tools, and knives of your choice to carve the details. Make sure your tools are sharp and that you wear a carving glove. This carving is a great place to experiment with fabric folds and curves.<\/p>\n

Painting the Ghost<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Seal the carving with a coat of matte Krylon spray finish. For most of this carving, I thinned 1 drop of paint with 15 drops of water. For the body, use titanium white with a hint of light blue in the folds. Use gray for the area inside the sleeves and under the sheet\/robe. Paint the head cadmium orange, and use burnt sienna in the creases. Paint the stem burnt umber and the eye and mouth openings bright yellow. Then, paint the teeth titanium white. Allow the paint to dry, and then seal it with another coat of Krylon finish. Allow the finish to dry fully.<\/p>\n

To antique the carving, create a mixture of 70% Watco natural finishing wax and 30% Watco dark finishing wax. Apply the mixture with a stiff brush. Pat off the excess and buff it with paper towels. Note: Dispose of the paper towels properly; Watco finishing wax contains linseed oil, which can spontaneously combust.<\/i><\/p>\n
