This is one tough pumpkin, grown by Dustin for Harding Nurseries in Colorado Springs. After a few minutes with a serrated knife, Dennis took the fellow out the wood shop and found a power tool to do the job.
It was a nice break from turning hundreds of birdhouse Christmas ornaments for a holiday show at the Broadmoor’s Christmas House November 23-25. Dennis has broken into a stash of exotic woods to make each ornament a masterpiece.
