In this scrap wood project I'll show you how I made a wooden chicken ornament that will sit nicely on your shelf.

For this project you will need a peace of 20 x 10 x 3 scrap wood.  The runner part from a wooden pallet is ideal.

Start by drawing out your chicken design.

Once you have your basic chicken shape, clamp and carve using a sharp chisel or carving knife.

Next stage is paint, be creative, be messy, play with colours, remove, add and see what works for you.
