Keep on Trucking

Edited #1

Recently I wanted to help out a local ramp ministry fund raiser and needed to make  a toy for the son of a new friend.  I've made a number of toys for my Grand Children and other friends from "The Great All American Wooden Toy Book".  This time I decided to make a cab over engine truck and flat bed trailer.  I use soft maple for these toys and purchase the wheel.  Here are the two trucks I made.

The toy for the fund raiser sold for $50 and resulted in a request for a second truck that also sold for $50.  $100 went to the ramp ministries.  The truck for the young boy is the lower one in the photo and it is currently being delivered to him.
