It was actually fairly sturdy. It traveled fine. However, it didn't last as long outside as normal pumpkins... mainly due to it not having much off a shell anymore. So, if you would like it to last longer I would recommend drilling the holes farther apart.

Out of curiosity how well does it travel?  I'd be afraid that it would just fall apart taking it from the kitchen to the porch.  Or did you carve it (drill it?) on board and just leave it there for moving?

Thanks,

Love it!

That's sweet! Very creative.
