Default Toy Truck

Took a little time out from carving on the ball in a cage, and made this toy truck for my grandson. Hope that you enjoy the pics.

Nice job... When ever we go to festivals and craft fairs I always stop at the vendors who have wooden toys that they've made for sale. All my childhood keepsakes got thrown away when I left home and went in the Navy. I probably wouldn't have saved them back then anyway but I sure appreciate them now....must be another sign of getting old when you can remember playing with wooden trucks and cars.
