What to carve in my pumpkin?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If it has a nice circular shape and you have enough patience and tools... I'd go for the Death Star design!

If it's more square in shape, you might want to do a Great White Shark!

If the shape is short and squat, you can do anything from the traditional Jack-o-lantern face or try some fun new angles with incorporating the stem and using it as a nose!

Regardless of what you choose, I'm sure you'll have fun with a 58 pound pumpkin.
Happy Halloween!
