Homemade Toy Lumber Truck

This is a really cool wooden truck that I have made from kiln dried hem fir with plans that I purchased from Toymaker.com. 

The Tractor and the trailer are 2 different pieces as is illustrated in the pictures. The overall length of truck and trailer is 15.75". It is 3.5" wide and 4" tall. The tractor itself is 9" long and the trailer is 9.5" long. 

I used a dark stain on the running boards, mud flaps, and wheels. The tractor, trailer and the 10 lengths of post lumber on the bed have been finished with a furniture grade Polyurethane. 

I bent a couple pieces of heavy gauge tie wire for the hold downs for the lumber to the bed.
