I agree that this is a great job.
Are the pumpkins relief carved, or is that all in the paint job?
Thanks, Mike
I have the same question. Is it like a puzzle with the pieces glued in?

Pretty much so. Each segment is cut like a puzzle out of blocks of basswood. Then the pieces were individually sanded to reduce the thickness and rounded with a dremel. After painting the face of each piece the puzzle was glued onto the redwood backing. The bats and leaves were cut on scraps resawn to 1/8 inch. The moon and clouds were 1/4 inch stock, also from scraps. It's time consuming, but allot of fun.
