Halloween Ghost Wood Carving buying - Tombstone, Pumpkin, Black Cat - Hand Carved Painted Basswood sculpture - Decor for mantelpiece, accent table

Hand carved Halloween decoration featuring a friendly ghost beside greyish tombstone, and accompanied by bright orange pumpkin and a black cat.

This delightful Halloween woodcarving is based upon a design from the book "Halloween Carving" by Paul & Camille Bolinger. It is is fully carved in the front and sides, with the back flattened out and partially carved (all fully painted). Standing high relief sculptures are perhaps not seen buying as frequently as other traditional carving forms - personally I find them quite charming. Their particular format makes them well suited for sitting on a mantle top, book shelves, buffet top, or small table, but will look great just about anywhere, since they are nicely finished on all four sides.

This piece was hand carved and painted with acrylic craft paints, and then antiqued using an oil based gel stain. A final finish with Varathane Diamond water based satin varnish provides a good and long lasting coat of protection.

It was a fun piece to carve and would be a fun piece to own, as well as a lasting treasure guaranteed to liven up your home for many Halloweens to come!
