Editor’s Choice: Scrapwood Goat

Scrapwood Goat by Deborah Nicholson earned Editor’s Choice.

An overflowing scrap bin inspired Deborah Nicholson to create this wooden goat.

“I have a hard time throwing away wood,” Deborah said. “After numerous projects, I have quite a collection of scraps too small to use for a new project. After studying these piles of wood, I knew I had to find a project to 
use them.”

Deborah, who lives in Hernando, Fla., loves to study unique animals.

“When I started this project, I had no specific plans,” Deborah explained. “I just started working on what I thought was going to be a llama. I love the texture of the llama’s hair I saw in photos, but as I glued together the wood, I accidentally gave him a beard. That’s when I realized he was a goat, so I gave him horns.”

The project consists of a variety of wood scraps, including ash, pine, mahogany, walnut, and oak. It took Deborah about a month to complete this project.
