Train for my Brother
« on: June 26, 2015, 06:14:00 am »
My older Brother is into model trains so I decided to make him one. This is a Pedro design. It is the Victorian Fretwork train, made of walnut & Cherry. It was a big change of pace from doing intarsia.

Thanks for the comments - Danny- I haven't shipped it yet sense I have a couple of people interested in the piece. I think it would be better to to actually show them the piece sense the valve is every high and seeing it will help me get the orders
