Cement Truck
Cement Truck made from digital photos of a local cement company in Poulsbo, Washington, Hills Materials. Plans from Toys and Joys out Lynden, Washington helped get the project started. Did not have to alter the plans too much. Added length and additional wheels to match up with digital photos I took of local trucks. Made of curly and quilted maple.

Very detailed. If I made this I would be both excited and scared of my child playing with it (due to potential damage). Thumbs up!
Hi Jason,
Thanks for your comment. I make many toys that are suitable for a young child. However, the majority of my toys are really display pieces. Those toys I make from plans provided by Toys and Joys out of Lynden, Washington have too many detailed parts to be really considered as a toy for play. This particular piece was requested by a driver of the Hills Materials Company and the truck was a close replica of one of their trucks. A great toy for a 5 year old would be a Barney Olefield speedster that I also have featured in the Gallery
Thanks again,
Ron Messersmith
