    Default Fire trucks

    Got an order for a fire truck, so I decided to make 2 and let the client decide on which one she wants.
    I imagine the other wont sit around for long I hope!

    here are the rough cuts:

    Two great looking fire truck Dirk she may take both as it would be hard to decide which is best. Look forward to the rest of the build

    Crowie,

    They have no finish applied yet, Ill treat them with natural oil as a finish.

    A pair of great fire engines should look even better when the finish is on. Should also make two boys very happy
