Introduction

Fall holds warm memories from my childhood that have continued throughout adulthood. With these memories inevitably come the classic Halloween monsters we all recognize—vampire, witch, mummy, and Frankenstein. I designed each piece in this booklet using a carving-on-the-corner approach, which allows the carver to achieve added depth and interest without wasting a ton of wood. Take your time, relax, and carve away. Before you know it, these guys will have taken over your shop space and—just maybe—the hearts of your friends and family. Happy Halloween!

Count Dracula

Hone your carving and painting skills on this toothy troublemaker

As a child, I would often plan a Halloween costume for weeks in advance, and for many years Dracula was my character of choice. I’d read volumes and volumes on the lore behind this fascinating (and fearsome) character! Now, as an adult, I still have a soft spot for the Count—and when the cooler weather hits, he becomes a carving staple for me once again.
