I can't wait. You guys are going to love mine. I can only say it was hand drawn and sketched over for 3 hours last night. I have just a touch of artistic skill behind me. I just hope I don't freak out tommorrow night carving out the fine details.

The wifey is not a member of the site, but is begging me to submit a pic of hers. I hope thats ok if I submit both mine and hers.
 
Here is my entry so far. One more coming I think. I think David's (Esquired's) Cinderella is simply fabulous! :wink:

This whole creation came straight from the head. I was thinking of what it would look like to see a big catfish coming to swallow you up, and here it is.

nice looken Pumpkins, I thought the skills around a knife was used only for filleting fish and gutten deer, ( and sheep), outstanding gentlemen! James you and the youngens have your work cut out for you, Good Luck
 
Well, I didn't realize this was going to cause a major war in my house. 2 kids fighting and screaming and crying....Coupled with being over-tired, and fueld by Candy caused WW3 in my house. Well, to be pretty honest I was shocked at the outcome. I am not saying one is better than the other, but it is funny to see what they chose. I went down the list of pumpkins with both my kids and I said pick your favorite one. Every pumpkin they looked at they said I like this one.Next pumpkin...I like this one all the way to the end. I had to explain you can only pick one and that is when hell broke loose.

My son Chose Shizzys skull and My daughter chose Mr.Fish Cat. The tears went flying when I said we had to pick one. So me being the genius that I am asked my wife to choose between the two....She picked Esquired's Princess. #-o .

The Beauty of having your own Forum and Contest, Is that you can change the Rules anytime you want and no one can say anything. :wink:

So here we go

Winners:
Shizzy
Mr. Fish

Favorites
MR. Fish - Catfish (my favorite and the one I would of Chose)
Esquired - Princess (my Wife)

nicdicarlo (my son had a hard choice between this one and Shizzys)

I have to agree with Bassaddict1976, you da man, wait in all fairness
YOU DA FAMILY \:D/
 
That is sweet. Everyone did a great job. Thanks very much to Tinboats.net for the contest and Jim's family for judging, especially Jim's son, who has great taste and an eye for quality! :D




ps. Mr. Fish,

Your Flathead with T.B. logo is just sick! Nice work.
 
One hint for next year - you really want your carving to stand out - use a road flare or, in my case, expired boat emergency flares.

That thing was so **** bright and had loads of cool smoke pouring out!

Congrats to everyone

My choices woudl have been NicD and Mr. fish

But everyone did an equally great job.

Thanks to Jimmy T. for having the greatest web forum ever
 
Nice! Good work guys and Thanks a lot Jim. Mr. Fish's flattie was sweet. I also like Dave's road flare technique. Is that a fire hazard of any kind? ha. Awesome contest!
