Wooden toy quad bike or ATV is made from recycled Spotted Gum, body [my builder friend gave me an old hardwood bearer],
Australian Red Cedar, sides [a friend gave me some offcuts of architraves out of the turn of the century home in Bathurst]
and Beech, wheels [thank you Chief Tiff].
With two coats of homemade Wipe-On-Poly mixture [30% Tung Oil, 40% Clear Satin Polyurethane, 30% Turps].
The pattern is based on the free plan from Tony on his website..

Correction on the timber in the body of the quad bike!

I just had my builder friend Ray drop in on his way home for a cuppa and chat.
I mentioned the timber question I'd asked about the old hardwood beam.
Well Ray did a close inspection along with smell test of the piece I'd cleaned up, with the resolution "IT'S TALLOWWOOD"
