Order This Toy Car Now My Toy Car Collection As a toymaker, I take pride in crafting fun, entertaining, and unique toys. I made a wooden toy car inspired by a 1932 Ford Hot Rod Sedan. I used traditional woodworking tools and techniques to bring this toy car to life. I painted it by hand with turquoise, metallic emerald green, and black acrylic paint, and the wheels are finished with nonmarring amber shellac. One of the things that sets my toys apart from mass-produced toys is that they are all handmade using natural wood and wood products. This means that each piece is unique and will vary slightly in appearance from one item to the next. When you order this toy car, the item you receive will differ somewhat from the item pictured in the listing photos. It's important to note that the natural variations in wood grain, color, and knots make each piece one-of-a-kind and add to the item's character and charm. These variations should be expected and are not considered defects. Howe...

Whenever I find a piece of wood like this, I always give a clear finish so I can see the grain and color of the wood. It doesn't make it a better toy, but it is nice to see. -- Etsy Listing https://www.etsy.com/listing/754396005/ A small wood toy pickup truck that is handmade and hand-finished with amber shellac and metallic blue acrylic paint.

There are several finishes to choose from when finishing wooden toys. Drying Oils Non-Drying Oils Polyurethane Shellac Paint There may be others, but these are the ones I have used. If I am making a toy intended for a child under three years old that puts everything in their mouth and likes to chew on things No finish at all is probably the best choice. These toys should be very simple and made from woods like hard maple. Although ti its used by many toymakers, I would not put any sort of oil on these toys. In my totally unscientific testing, I find that kids will almost always go for the painted toys. I have seen a few exceptions to this, but not many.
