You’ll need a saw (like a jigsaw or bandsaw) to cut out the pumpkin shape, sandpaper or a sander for smoothing edges, and wood glue to assemble multiple pieces. Painting tools include brushes and paint or stain, depending on the desired look. If you plan to carve designs, a rotary tool or wood carving set is essential. Don’t forget safety gear like gloves and goggles, especially when cutting or sanding.
