Annabelle, Coffey County, is our State 4-H Award Recipient for the Woodworking Project.
In her own words: I started watching my older brother do woodworking before I was old enough to join 4-H. He used to let me help him sand his projects, and I discovered that I love sanding. I developed a love of woodworking at that point. When I first started in the woodworking project, my Mom drew all of my plans, but over the years I have learned how to do that, and this last year I was able design and construct a buckle box, an Honor Flight bench, and a custom-made crib. I love making the wood come alive with my different projects, and I love to see the joy that those projects bring to others. Through my 4-H woodworking projects, I have been able to give back to the people and organization that have helped me, supported me, and hold a special place in my heart.
