The state of Colorado, known as the "Centennial State," is a world full of jaw-dropping mountain peaks, vibrant forests, and mile high cities. But beneath its rocky exterior, there lies a secret world, a world where children are master craftspeople, creating wonders out of wood. In the bustling city of Boulder, a group of kids gather every Saturday in the old barn next to Bluebell Creek. They are not ordinary kids, oh no! They are members of the "Woody Wonders." The Woody Wonders is a club of young whittlers and woodworkers, led by none other than the beaver hat-wearing, raccoon tail-sporting, legendary character known as Chip 'Woodchip' McTimber. Chip McTimber is a funny-looking fellow with a pencil-thin mustache, and eyes that sparkle with mischief. He's a master woodworker, though he often jokes that his talent comes from his ancestors who were, quite literally, beavers! His laugh is a strange mixture of a woodpecker's pecking and a squirrel's chatter, which never fails to make the kids giggle. Under Chip's guidance, these Colorado kiddos spend hours sanding, sawing, chiseling, and crafting, creating wooden wonders that would make even the trees blush. They whittle miniature Rocky Mountains, carve tiny Colorado rivers, and even assemble minuscule Denver cityscapes! The air in the barn is always filled with the sweet smell of fresh wood shavings, the soft whisper of sandpaper, and the merry laughter of these young woodworkers. So, let us venture into Chip McTimber's magical world of woodworking, where the mountains are high, and the creativity of the children is as limitless as the Colorado sky. Welcome to the Woody Wonders, the place where every chip of wood tells a story, and the laughter never stops!
