Project Information
I was commensioned to build this box to resemble a caterpillar color dump truck, my first go at it, wood choice was Alder after doing dye test it held his lemon color of yellow, little did I know that by adding the finish coat of Lacquer it would recat with the dye and wood choice, after doing test on maple it held it's yellow color without deviation, Alder is I think consider a soft wood, it's on the porous side and almost like a sponge I think the lighter color and the dense maple may have been the better choice, live and learn. I submitted these photos to the customer and am waiting to hear back rather she wants this one or I should attemp with Maple. All-n-All I don't think it turned out to bad being my first dump truck bandsaw box with a top tray. I used maple and walnut for the pulls and added a smoke stack with ribbed bed supports and a shovel for the center drawer pull the cab drawer has a hidden drawer in it 6 drawers total. Measurements are 11" W x 6" H x 3" D
