This handmade wooden toy flatbed lumber truck is made to order in my toymaker's shop using traditional woodworking tools. Many colors and finishes are available, including oils or no finish. Some colors are more expensive than others. These are typically lighter colors that require more coats of paint and more sanding to get good coverage. Since the toy is made to order, I can paint it almost any color. Custom orders are welcome. The truck's body is hand-painted with acrylic paint, and the bed and wheels are finished with amber shellac.

There are five trucks in this series. One of the trucks is a tow truck that can tow the other trucks. The hook under the front of the truck is for towing.

Approximate size:
Length: 9 inches
Height: 4 inches
Width: 3.5 inches

Custom colors, sizes, and quantities are available via custom order.

I made this toy truck using Pine Wood Body, Birch Hardwood Axles, Birch Hardwood Wheels, Nontoxic Acrylic Paint, Nontoxic Amber Shellac, and Nontoxic Wood Glue. The paint is hand brushed acrylic. Amber shellac was used for all the hardwood parts.  There is a notch under the front of the truck for a tow hook. One of the trucks in this series is a tow truck.

I looked at several methods of holding the load on the back before finally settling on the Rubber bands. These are nonlatex rubber bands I purchased from Amazon. No worries about latex allergies and they are easy enough for a small child to manage.  The hooks are birch axle pegs. The prototype has been in use for almost 2 years, and the bands are still looking like new.

I use pine for the body to help keep the weight down. It could easily be made from hardwoods or even MDF, but it would be much heavier, and at 14 ounces it is already pushing the limit for the cheap first class shipping.

I used Oak for the bed of the truck because I did not think pine would be strong enough and I think the contrasting color of the oak looks nice.

I cut the timbers on my Shopsmith table saw using a MicroJig Grr-ripper to hold the small pieces. It worked great. The timbers are unfinished, but they have been thoroughly sanded smooth and the corners rounded.

It takes several days to make one of these. Primarily, this is due to painting. There are several coats of paint on the body that need to be bone dry to sand between the layers of paint.  Because I work full time and live in a very humid climate, I usually have to wait 24 hours between coats of paint. Some paints, usually the lighter colors take longer.
