Odin's Toy Factory

I cut this truck by hand using a scroll saw. It was initially painted solid blue as a sample for a customer. The paint on the sides got messed up, and rather than try to fix the paint; I decided to remove it. I then coated the entire truck with clear shellac and buffed it to a smooth finish. The result is a beautiful two-tone color scheme where you get the best of both wood grain and paint. Originally, this one was painted blue. I did not like how the paint looked so I remover it from the sides. I should have sanded a little more. The camera sees things that my eyes can't . If you want to see all the defects in your toys.

I made the first of these dragons as an experiment to see how small I could cut a dragon and still be usable for something. As a toymaker, I always have small bits of wood around that need to be saved from the kindling bucket. I had the idea that it would make an excellent Christmas ornament and fashioned a hanger to try. Much to my surprise, it was a big hit. Everyone who saw it wanted one. Click here to see the listing in my shop.
