I wanted to but finding them a decent size is challenging, then you’ve to risk your fingers hollowing it out. I was talking into a pumpkin, stinking though they are.
you deserve extra points for the turnip, how many times did you cut yourself?
Jasus i havn’t seen a Turnip carved in years.
I feel that if my late father, a highly competent woodworker with proper tools, ended up firing a slightly bloodied half carved turnip in the bin with cries of “bugger that for a game of soldiers” then I, a fool armed with a kitchen knife and a wood drill, really shouldn’t even start.
No they’re hard as fuck
Yes and put a crust of bread, salt and saucer of milk out for the fairies. Kids use pumpkins tho
I’ve done it before and it was really difficult because they’re so hard and my house smelt like burnt turnip when I lit the candle inside.
They looked good though.
I had trouble enough carving a pumpkin! Ended up giving up after a few years of f’n and blinding every Halloween.
Candlelit turnips smells like farts to be fair.
I remember my grandparents doing that, and didn’t think much of it. Born in 86 so it was pumpkins all the way. And they’re better for it, as are we.
Coming from a family that didn’t want to waste food I’ll happily never carve one of these at Halloween again, though I’m sure the candle hot turnip smell would be nostalgic
Old school cool 😎, get carving kids , and when you’ve bent your Ma’s soup spoon from hollowing it out , you’ve done the job right
