Totem Jacks

These stacked Jack-o’-lanterns were inspired by the wonderfully strange characters of The Nightmare Before Christmas. I wanted something original for Halloween, and a towering collection of mischievous pumpkin faces seemed like a fun thing to carve.

Made from maple and finished with linseed oil, the totem stands 53 inches tall and measures 10 inches wide. It’s a substantial piece of Halloween decoration, perhaps a little more than most people want to haul in and out of storage every year.
