About this Product
I love making toys out of wood, and there seems to be a renewed interest in such toys. I have these trucks on sale in a local retail store and the store owner has told me that as soon as children see them they start playing with them. I think they like simple toys because they can use their imagination more than with complex toys. • This logging truck is approximately 9" long by 3 1/2" wide and 3 3/4" high
• Logs (twigs from the maple tree in our yard) are included
• I made the logging truck from solid poplar
• Left unfinished so that you can either paint it, or just leave it as is

Meet the Maker
I am a U.S. Army Vietnam veteran, and have an MBA with a marketing concentration. I worked in retail management, then outside sales in the HVAC and refrigeration industry. I drove a limo for a year, then went to work at a large for-profit university. I worked as an admissions officer, then moved into student finance. I was also an adjunct faculty member, teaching courses in marketing. I retired in January 2020 and now devote as many hours as I wish per week to my woodworking business.
My wife of 50 years and I live in a rural area about 50 miles southwest of Chicago. Our two grandchildren live in Georgia so we do not see them as often as we would like. Woodworking began as a hobby, then I started selling at local craft shows in this area area and later moved to online sales. I enjoy making wooden toys and home decor items and have shipped over 1,000 orders all over the U.S. and even as far away as Australia. All my products are made from sustainable hardwoods such as poplar, oak, maple, and walnut which I purchase locally.
