    Default Little tray back truck toy for gifts or giveaways

    I started playing around with an existing template pattern I had to make a slightly different bigger little wooden toy truck.


    The body is old recycled Pacific Maple with 2” shop bought wheels.

    The trays are slightly different in that one has the sides glued on top of the base while the other I’ve glued the sides to the side making a large tray.


    I’m not sure which one I prefer but to the child who receives either, it’ll be fun and play for hours.


    Two different types of furniture buttons were used for the headlights giving very different appearances.


    The finish is 3 coats of my homemade WipeOnPoly.


    A good fun project to keep busy during a lockdown isolation period.

    Cheers crowie
