I was asked to donate one of my fire trucks to the annual (59th) John Cowell Curling Bonspiel, as I enjoy working wood and it's been a while since I made one the decision was easy. I used several types of wood such as maple, Birdseye maple, oak, mahogany, walnut, lacewood, and purple heart. Like the other trucks I made, all but a couple of the parts are hand made, either on a small lathe, hand sanded to size, even the little pegs I used to hold the lights in place, about 110 pieces. Here are a couple of pictures of my latest creation.
