This is a story set for the old tale of Three Billy Goats Gruff. There are many versions of this folk tale, but basically it is the story of three goats named Gruff who want to cross a bridge to get to better grazing ground. A troll lives under the bridge and wants to have them for lunch. Each goat pleads that he is small and not much of a lunch and that a bigger goat is coming along until finally the biggest goat shows up and knocks the troll for a loop!

Originally I had planned on using one of the 1-1/2 inch wooden balls for the troll and it is still a good choice if you want your troll to roll away from the goat. But as I got into the design, that space under the bridge intrigued me so I made a troll to fill that space. Sadly, when Ron cut him from the heavier wood that the bridge is made from, he looked……well, just bad. A nose that was 1-1/2 inches wide just didn’t work! Ron cut him from the ¾ inch stock like the rest of the set and he looked much better. He will still slide under the bridge and fill up the space.

The set consists of 3 goats, (small, medium and large) a troll and a bridge in unfinished pine. Each piece has been lightly sanded, but you may have to do a little extra sanding in the cracks and crevasses that Ron can’t reach with the power sander. The fine blade on the bandsaw cuts very smooth, so sanding will be minimal. As we usually do, individual pricing is also available so you can purchase the whole set or only one or two pieces out of the set. Because these pieces would have to be custom cut, the price is higher for individual pieces than if you purchase the set that Ron can cut when in the mood and have on hand. If you want individual pieces, please tell us the name of the set, then the name of the piece and how many you want of each. Also, include your full name or first name and initial along with your ZIP-CODE.

If you turn the bridge upside down, it will also work for Noah’s Ark. The troll has a pointy head, so if you want to use him as Noah, give him a hat!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION..........PLEASE READ!!

Our pine cutout items are designed and copyrighted by me (Phyllis). They are free hand drawings and will not be the same side to side. I feel this gives them more character and individualism. The items are then hand cut one at a time by Ron with his band saw. They are lightly sanded. All this means that no two will be exactly alike. Pieces of stackers and puzzles are not interchangeable. Pieces of stackers and puzzles must be all "right" side up to fit together properly. If a piece is flipped over, it won't fit! This makes the stacker more challenging and less boring over time. If this is an issue for your young ones, we suggest that one side be painted in dark colors and the other side in light colors. For instance, a rainbow could be primary colors on one side and pastel colors on the other. Due to differences in printers, hand cutting and sanding, the drawing GUIDES provided for our cutouts are never going to fit exactly. They are merely GUIDES to help you with details as you finish your cutout!

Our hand cut items are cut from pine grown in the USA and occasionally Canada. The lumber is marked KDHT which means it is KILN DRIED (to reduce the moisture content) and HEAT TREATED (pasteurized, heated to partial sterilization to kill bugs and bacteria). Our items are sold UNFINISHED. Although Ron lightly sands our hand cut items, there could still be rough spots, sharp edges, or even a few splinters. It is up to you to finish sanding the items to your liking before applying any paint or finish. We don't recommend any one finish over another. It is up to you to choose the type of finish you prefer and read the labels to be sure it is child safe!

WARNING!!!
We do not recommend any of our products for children under 3 years of age. Small pieces can be a choking hazard so if your child (or pet) is still taste testing everything, use common sense when purchasing. You know your child best; buy wisely! Remember, anything that can pass through a toilet paper roller is a choking hazard!
