Jalopy


  • Made out of Western Fir, Pine, Mahogany, Birch dowels and Maple this piece measures 9 1/8 inches long and 2 7/8 inches wide.
  • Front end is tapered, rear end is rounded over
  • Four coats of MinWax Polyurethane
I forgot all about this one. Found an intact model in a box out in the shop. This one was another favorite of the nephews and the neighborhood kids.

This one was inspired by an old car collector that we knew when we were younger. He had all sorts of old cars and after gleaning my memory for inspiration I settled on on of the cars that he had that I remembered.

Drawing it out was a lot of fun, but rounding over the rear end and narrowing the front end, really set this car off for me.
