Pumpkin Carvings

I love pumpkin carving.  Since they have started selling the kits I have been carving a few every year.  It doesn't take very much practice before you are able to carve several in an evening and have them all turn out very professionally.  I have quite a way to go before I reach the level in these two videos however.  They are fun to watch though.  Here is a video from last year showing an expert carver working with the Wall Street meltdown theme:
