How to Make the Pumpkin Lanterns

I share a detailed tutorial on the project here: "3D Wood Pumpkins & Gourds":https://housefulofhandmade.com/3d-wood-pumpkins-gourds/.

Estimated time: 300 minutes

Nice project! Thanks for sharing. I would suggest that if using 1/4" MDF, move the tabs close to the ends of each "rib". The MDF is flexible enough to be lifted by the bit. This causes the thin end to break.
