:D This is a monster truck that I just finished. Its 15" long with oak wheels and a walnut body. The finish is varnish and black paint. I thought about regular sized wheels and they just didn't look right so I went with the oversize wheels. The wheels are 6/4 oak that I bandsawed, drilled 3/8" in with a spade bit, then through drilled with a 5/16" bit and finished off by spin sanding.:D

sweet, the varnish really gives it that just waxed look.

Gary, very nice looking truck. I too love the finish. I should have made my son some of these when he was younger. Thanks for sharing. Bill

That thing is awesome. My Dad has a small collection of wooden cars, planes, boats and I think a motorcycle or two, but no Monster Truck. He too will be excited to see the picture. Nice work.

The oversized tires were the right decision. Looks like fun!
