Last toy truck before Christmas
This will be the last toy I make before Christmas.
This gives you an idea of the size of the truck.

I made it taking my time just working on it when I felt like it but it would probably take me close to a week from start to finish. This one took longer than usual because I wasn't working to a plan and no templates had to design it as I went along but it was fun. Thanks for the comment.

Wow John, A true work of art by a craftsmen.
My adult daughter & I were looking through "Making Heirloom Toys" book.
My good wife borrowed from the library for me,
and today we've seen a very fine example.
I've ordered the book from "Amazon UK" so I can have a go;
but it's be a while before I espire to the detail
and presentation of you Christmas Truck.
Thank you for sharing the project.
Cheers, Crowie

PS _ A safe & Happy Christmas to all....

Great job John came up great, it is very satisfying when you build from the head
and not from plan. Look forward to seeing some more.
