The oldest car in the world

Post by Bob »

This must be the oldest car, because it's made from 50,000 year old Kauri. I had small leftover pieces from bottle stopper production, and didn't want to waste anything. Now I need to find uses for the even smaller leftovers.

A very nice toy for some lucky child! We have a new little one and I plan to make many of these types of toys. Was this off the top of your head? I have a nice heirloom toy book I've been laying out pieces from-cars, airplanes and the like.

Jim,
Thank you.
It was Dale, over in the Vectric forum, who got me interested in wooden cars. http://forum.vectric.com/viewtopic.php?t=19405
He has a bunch posted there.
I'm not sure if anyone will buy mine at the price I'll be asking.
