39
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:14.000
Legacy Parks attraction. In a recent
New York Times article, professional pumpkin carver

40
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.360
Adam Burton discussed the path through his
unusual job and shared some tips of the

41
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.520
trade. To carve the perfect pumpkin
this season, I bathe all my pumpkins

42
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.680
and store them with a fan blowing
on them so bugs don't get in there.

43
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:29.039
Then the first step is to peel
the pumpkin. You remove the hard

44
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.280
orange skin, which allows access to
that beautiful flesh that's underneath, which is

45
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:36.599
great for sculpting next to a block
in the face with a ribbon tool.

46
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.560
I'm kind of playing with perspective and
drawing with shadow. The deeper the cut,

47
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:44.479
the darker the shadow. Gradually I
start to work with smaller tools and

48
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.599
finish with knife work. What's the
biggest mistake the average person makes when carving

49
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:52.199
their own jack O lanters. According
to Burton, it's cutting a hole in

50
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.400
the top of the pumpkin. Instead, he suggests go in through the back

51
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.560
by cutting a square or an octagon. Cutting a hole in the top of

52
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.400
the pumpkin takes away from the carecharacter
of a long ornate stem. People cut

53
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.919
the bottom two. That's not good
because the juice ends up everywhere. Jack

54
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:09.599
O l entrons did not have to
end up in the local landfill after Halloween.

55
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.120
Once they have adorned your porch,
for the festive evening. Pumpkins can

56
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.399
be composted, left as a snack
for backyard wildlife, or donated to a

57
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:21.360
community garden. Farmer Zoo Need ideas
where to donate pumpkins for pigs has a

58
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:26.240
map of animal farms, sanctuaries,
and rescues across the US that except pumpkin

59
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:30.959
donations. Donated pumpkins are excellent feed
and a wonderful treat to the animals.

60
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.600
Remember, we have a couple of
upcoming events this October through November, including

61
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:41.000
the IAPPA Expo in Orlando, Florida, November thirteenth through seventeenth, and Creep

62
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:46.000
