Goofy Jacks

Another experiment with stacked Jack-o’-lanterns, this time with humor taking the lead. The bottom pumpkin looks like he’s having a particularly miserable day, struggling under the weight of his two companions stacked above him. His expression says just about everything.

Carved from a substantial piece of oak, these fellows are as hefty as they are ridiculous. At approximately 150 pounds, they’re not exactly the kind of Halloween decoration you casually move around.

The wood was burned to bring out the details and finished with linseed oil. Standing 39 inches tall and measuring 14 inches wide, Goofy Jacks now keeps watch at the end of our driveway alongside another pumpkin totem.
