Dan Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 This one is from the full sized pattern. I got the wheels in yesterday so I stained them last night. It's walnut and ash. This was cut on the bandsaw and sanded on the spindle sander and by hand. It measures 5" x 7" and is 3-3/4" wide.

Dan Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Great looking car Dan! Can you tell us what product you use on the wheels and how you apply it? Dan, I used Minwax ebony stain applied with a rag to the tires followed by two coats of wipe-on poly. Thanks for the kind words.

Lucky2 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Dan, that's a sharp looking little car, do you think it's sturdy enough for kids to play with? Or, would this be more for being put on display? Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Awesome Dan. Really like the Walnut and Ash combo along with the beautiful finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Len, it's plenty tough enough for the kids to play with. Ron, thanks for the nice words. I think your cars are better but I'll keep trying to make mine better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
