Title: California Woody Wagon and Teardrop Camper
Post by: ToverT on July 25, 2013, 09:55:19 pm

Here is an early picture of the project as I have most of the pieces cut out.  I ran out of wood and it is being delivered tomorrow, so I can get back to work on it.  It is almost 2 feet long about 5" high and 4" wide.  It's fairly large.  It's made from Walnut and Cherry wood.  I'll post a completed picture when I finish it in the next several days.
Thanks for Lookin'

I've seen that pattern from Toymakers.com - it looks like a nice project. Will you stain or paint?

This one is made entirely of Walnut and Cherry so it will get only a coat of Shellac then poly.  The painted ones look nice too.  This project takes a lot of wood, and  I mean a lot!  I'll have almost $50 in wood on this project.  The pattern says you can use MDF, but I don't think it would be good.  Lots of primer and painting.  If I make one to paint, I'll probably use Aspen wood, cheap but solid.  We'll see.  This will be pretty cool when it's done, hopefully by tomorrow and ready for my next show this Sunday the 28th.
