Jack O'Lantern PropWe had a pumpkin carving contest amongst our friends at Halloween.Once I decided what design to carve I decided I needed a prop. After a couple hours I had a knife made from wood. I traced one of the wife's kitchen knives. A couple people thought it was a real knife at first glance.Used Poplar stained gray for the blade and some Cherry for the scales.Best thing is that I sold it to one of our friends for a gift for her brother in law since he is the type of person that will go all out on his Halloween costume.

So, this is what I came up with for him. Notice I stretched my little lathe to its very limit on length. Had to use the drill press for the hole/slot.The handle is made out of hard maple and is sixteen inches in length. The tool as a whole is 36 inches in length.
