Project Information

1920's Ford "C" Cab Farm Truck for a little boy's first birthday.

After seeing the Ford "C" Cab Farm Truck I made for the local boys & girls club Easter Guessing competition our youngest daughter asked if I could make a similar but smaller version for Asher's cousin Sammy's first birthday.

I had the pattern for the "C" Cab so it wasn't too difficult to scale down the farm truck to a smaller tray back truck with not too much extra detail to ensure it's playable for a little bloke.





The timber is a mixture of Merbau, Spotted Gum, Blackheart Sassafras with Beech Wheels while the finish is my home made Wipe On Poly.

Thank you ladies and gents all for the kind words of encouragement….

Giving the gift of a hand made wooden toy is so rewarding on so many levels….

The next project is started but this one will be a keeper for home for the grandsons to play with!
