    Default Child ride on tractor - which timber

    Hi

    I would like to make a solid wooden ride on tractor for my young (1year old) nephew that he can use for a couple of years and maybe then his mum and dad can put it away for the next member of the family or keep for when ever. I am at a loss as to which would be the best timber to use. I keep thinking along the lines of South American Mahogany but I am open to any suggestion. The timber needs to be lightish in weight but strong. He lives in the country in Qld so it is going to get a good going over.

    All suggestions will be greatfully appreciated.

    thankyou

    Speedie

    Hello artme. Yes, but that was not the issue. I don't mind paying so long as I get the right stuff.

    Speedie.

    ps. I can remember Dundowran beach when there was only a dirt track to get there and no houses within 3 miles.
