Right about December 1st the phone started ringing. People wanting items for Christmas gifts. This was the first, wanting a large box, mid size box and a truck. Lucky for me I found a large door at an antique shop just before that and had just restocked my mid size doors. The truck would have been tough but I recently found one that I had made in a junk shop and bought it back.
The two boxes are pine (by request) and stained with red oak stain. Three coats of gloss polyurethane. The truck is made from ambrosia maple with walnut fenders and accents. All I had to do for it was a little cleaning. I was even able to offer a discount on the truck.
As I was almost finished, another order came in-see "Wanted for Christmas 2".
