Unique pumpkins....

Hi Everyone!  I hope your weekend is going well.  After work today I started working on items for the next craft fair which is less than a month away plus I have a few custom orders to finish that I got at the fair.  I thought I'd share with you a couple of unique pumpkins that I made for the craft fair last weekend.  I've been making these for a couple of years now and they've always been a great seller.
In fact, I've almost used all of this unique wood.

 These pumpkins are made from wood that was once part of the legs of a feed bunk for cattle.  My grandpa feed thousands of cattle over the years from the feed bunk that topped these legs.  I cut them down to make these pumpkins.

 I sanded them really well, painted a base coat of black and a top coat of pumpkin orange spray paint.

 Then I sanded them to reveal the black.  I just love the way the grain shows up and all the holes and dings that were in the wood.

 The stems are parts of spindles that came from a deck that was torn down.  Then I added the little signs.

This is the only picture I could find of them at the craft fair.  I will be taking these to the Clarinda Craft Fair in less than a month.  Now I need to get back to work.  I need to finish a couple of signs that were ordered last weekend.  Thanks for stopping by.
