Handmade Wood Toy Panel Wagon/Truck Testing the Wheel Fit I'm building a set of Fat Fendered Freaky Ford toy cars from pine wood. The Panel Wagon is probably going to be my favorite. Handmade Wood Toy Panel Wagon/Truck Patterns Applied and Holes Drilled I use blue painter's tape on the wood so I can remove the patterns easily.

I'm not too fond of stains. I'm leaning toward a polyurethane or clear shellac. Polyurethane has a long cure time, but it does a fine job of bringing out the grain. Other options include my oil and beeswax blend, Watco Danish Oil, or acrylic paint. These are very smooth, and I'm tempted to leave them bare wood.
