The original design for this car did not have wheels. I modified the design, increased the size to the Play Pal cars' length, and added 3/4-inch wheels. These toys are lighter and roll better than the Play Pal series.
The line on the body is made by cutting the toy into two pieces, rounding the edges of the cut, and gluing the two pieces back together.
The wheels are finished with amber shellac. The axle ends (hubs) are painted with metallic blue acrylic paint. All of the finishing is done before assembly.

I made this toy car in my toymakers shop using traditional woodworking tools from pine wood and birch hardwood. I sand the car smooth and round over all of the edges. I finish the car body with a finish from beeswax and mineral oil, the same as you would use on your cutting board or butcher block countertop.
Approximate Size:
Length: 3-1/2 Inches/89mm
Height: 1.25 inches/32mm

I make items by hand from natural wood and wood products. They can differ from one piece to the next. The one you receive may be slightly different from the item in the listing photos. Wood thickness may vary slightly from the stated size.
Not for children under three years old or kids that are still chewing things. If the toy breaks, small parts may present a choking hazard. Small children should not play with this toy without adult supervision.
