While I was breaking down a piece of furniture (bed), I found a small piece of plywood with hardwood cores. I have never seen plywood like this anywhere. Today the plywood we get only has a thin veneer and cheap pine on the inside with lots of knots and voids.
I wet the plywood with some mineral spirits to see what it might look like with some clear finish. It looked great. The plywood was small and about 3/8-inch thick. I cut it in half and glued the two pieces together to make it thick enough to make a toy car. The bat car was not my first choice, but my choices were limited, and I had no other car that fit the pieces of wood I had.
The finish is amber shellac except for the hubs painted with metallic blue acrylic. I like the way it looks and seriously considered not selling it.

I made this toy car from a small piece of rare plywood I reclaimed for an old broken piece of furniture. What is unusual about it is the plywood cores are hardwood. I laminated the two pieces together to make them thick enough to cut a car body. There are only two of these, and there will be no more.
