Scott DeMerchant Wood Carving
Born in Perth Andover, New Brunswick, Scott has been carving for 28 years. Shortly after marriage he took an interest in working with wood. Scott was inspired by a program on carving the Wood Duck and immediately began his first decoy. Several Wood Duck decoys were done before the carving and painting was perfected. Here Scott found his hobby and his passion.
It wasn't long before family and friends were requesting carving for specific birds. Every new request presented the satisfying challenge of capturing the perfect detail of its live subject. Being a natural leader, Scott identified interest in others wishing to learn his craft. He welcomed the opportunity to share his gift and began offering carving classes nearly 25 years ago. He has guided students from ages 10 to 78 over the years.
