    Wood Steam Locomotive

    Wood steam locomotive, just finished it yesterday. It's made from walnut, maple and poplar. It's 20 inches long. I used shellac for the finish, I did each part as I made them so I was able to sand the shellac smooth, used 000 steel wool and then waxed each parts. I didn't go for a high gloss but every part is as smooth as glass.002.jpg003.jpg
