To make the carving of your Jack-O’-Lantern easy choose a lightweight pumpkin. If you want one that lasts longer, pick a heavier one! When carving, scrape the inside of your pumpkin, where you plan to cut, very thin. since carving saws are usually only 2″-3″ long, your rind needs to be trimmed down to about 1″ to be effective. You’ll have a WOW Halloween pumpkin!
