Wooden Toy Car - Hot Rod Freaky Ford - 32 Sedan - Pine - Amber Shellac - Black Pipes - Metallic Blue Hubs - 556942997

Blue I sure do like blue. The blue and black just works for me. All of the amber shellac finished toys are glossy but once in a while I get the lights just right right and the reflections pop out. I'm not good enough with a camera to do this on purpose. 

Made from a piece of Home Depot 2x4 (white wood) and hand finished with amber shellac and acrylic paint.

The knot on this one adds a bit of character to the toy. I made this more as an experiment than anything else. I wanted to see how hard it would be to work with and what it would look like when finished.

A handmade wooden toy Hot Rod car I made in my Toymaker's Shop using traditional woodworking tools. I hand-finished it with amber shellac and painted the trim with black acrylic paint.

I make every effort to make sure my toys perform well. I carefully test each toy before it is listed for sale. My toys are made for play or decor.

Approximate Size:
Length: 6 inches
Height: 3 inches
Width: 2.5 Inches

Other sizes and colors may be available via custom orders.

I've made a lot of these experimenting with different materials, finishes and techniques. They keep getting better and I keep getting faster at building them. More than a few of them went into the trash.

New Etsy Listing - Wooden Toy Car - Hot Rod Freaky Ford - 32 Deuce Coupe - Pine - Amber Shellac - Metallic Green - Gray

Metallic green hubs and gray exhaust pipes on this one.  The colors are acrylic paint with a top coat of clear/blonde shellac. The body and wheels are finished with hand brushed shellac. I had started out try to spray the shellac but with humidity running in the 90% range it just didn't work. The shellac would condense moisture right out of the air. I actually had car bodies that had dew on them after spraying.

The original design for this wooden toy car had grey exhaust pipes. I had some gray paint and decided to give it a try to see how I liked them. I think the gray works good with the shellac. This car also has a knot. It's not very noticeable and I've been told there are some people that consider knots a feature. Knots can be hard to deal with so I usually try to avoid them. However, knot on the toy car didn't cause any problems at all. Amber shellac is a good finish to use when leaving knots. It will seal them and sticks well. Some finishes will peal right off a pine knot.

Wood Toy Car, Hot Rod 1932 Deuce Coupe, Handmade and Finished with Amber Shellac and Red and Black Acrylic Paint 555549563

While I'm not a fan of the red hubs I have a customer who is. I was experimenting with clear coatings on the acrylic paint and tried some on the flat red hubs the clear/blonde shellac really made the red color pop. After that I really had to see how they looked on the Hot Rod Deuce Coupe. It turned out quite well in a subdued sor of way. There will be more of these in the future.
