    That's cherry.

    I used IceCast Epoxy - the version that was a 1-1 mix. In addition to accurately measuring, I think the key is to stir it good, then stir it again, and then finally stir it again. When did you stir in the color flakes? I put them in after my four times stirring - and then I stirred that four times. It took 5 days for it to cure in the mold.

    That's the first cutting board AND the first time I have ever used epoxy - so it isn't that difficult. I'll try to video next time I try one.

    Thanks Karl!

    I just did this Steve Good 3D puzzle. Pretty quick cutting. I had the most difficulty actually putting it together after I finish cutting!! He had posted the pattern yesterday - today he had a video on how to put it together! I also have been working on a charcuterie board with epoxy river (I know - not a scroll saw project - but fun anyway!). Pics of both sides of the board.

    You and I must be related somehow!

    Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing it!

    The brother-in-law saw my collection of Freaky Fords and asked if I could make him one. I made the sedan with an ash body and black walnut heartwood fenders. Five coats of Formby's tung oil.

    Just a hint for finishing. I used two 12" long dowel rods through the axle holes while I put on the tung oil. Kind of use them like chopsticks to hold the car while I brush on the finish and check for any runs in the finish. I then set it to dry over 2 old plastic peanut butter pretzel jars. Works really well and enables me to get 360 degree access to the car without getting fingerprints (or glove prints) on the car.

    Great work Denny! The wife has asked for a couple of trivets for the kitchen. Looks like I'm going to have to find some 1/2" wood!

    I'm a Ford guy - 28 years with them. Now an Jag XK120, 140, or 150 -- that's do-able!

    Here is the final Freaky Ford in the series - the Sedan. The body is Black Walnut; fenders are Spalted Ash, finished with five coats of Formby's tung oil. Also including a picture of the five Freaky Fords - Sedan, Panel Truck, Convertible, Coupe a!nd Pick-up Truck. Overall, a fun project!

    I used the 1 1/4" wheels.

    I've been fairly satisfied with the finish however I'm a type "A" person and want it done now! It's hard not to rush the process!

    I'm kind of partial to the Thumper - looks great!

    Another vote for including the backer! Nice work! Too bad it's a bit taller than the flag - it would have made a great background without backer!

    Nice work! Thanks for sharing it!

    Just finished this one today! When I first started this one, I believed the wood was red cedar or red oak. Upon finishing it, I think now that it may actually be cherry. The wood had some worm holes with I left - kind of remind me of rust spots on the car. The fenders are brazilian cherry. The car was finished with 4 coats of Formby's Tung Oil. Here's the pics of it along with the last pic that shows the 4 Fords that I have completed so far. One more to go in the series.

    Just finished this one today. It's a Freaky Ford Panel Truck. The body is make of black walnut and the fenders are spalted ash. It was finished with Watco Danish oil with a coat of paste wax and then buffed out using my drill press. I've been experimenting with different woods and finishes. I like this combination a lot! Next up is a coupe with a red cedar body and mahogany fenders - not sure what the finish will be.

    Really nice work! Thanks for sharing it!

    Barry - the plans are from ToymakingPlans.com. The cost was about $15 for the set of 5 plans. Dick - I haven't put them in the hands of little ones yet but they appear to be pretty sturdy! BTW - here's another vehicle I completed today. I call it the "Carrotmobile"! Put together and finished in less than 2 days. I used 1/2" plywood for the body and 1/4" for the rabbit. I plan on using them as Easter presents.

    I started working on these in the last couple of weeks. I used a combination of scroll saw and Band saw. My Delta wasn't up to cutting these chunks of wood for the body - Had to use the band saw there. I used the scroll saw on the fenders. The truck was the first one I did. It has an ash body and purple heart fenders finished with 4 coats of Formby's tung oil. The convertible is black walnut with cumaru fenders and finished the same as the truck. I have the next 3 cut out just waiting on sanding and assembly. Two black walnut and I believe a red cedar. Here's the pics - Thanks for looking!

    That is amazing! It would take me years to get something like that! Thanks for sharing (and starting the gears grinding in my head!)

    Really nice! Thanks for sharing it!

    Amazing work! Not sure I'll ever be good enough (or patient enough) to pull off such intricate work! Thanks for sharing!
