Vintage VW Bus
« on: January 06, 2013, 10:13:18 am »
Finished this up this morning, I have a friend who is a huge Volkswagen fan, in fact he is going out west to a VW show in a week or two and hopes to bring back a VW bus with him, today is his birthday and I thought this would be appropriate, and I guarantee he won't get this from anybody else. 7/8" white oak, 3 coats Deft. Give me your thoughts.

Your friend is a lucky guy to be getting that for his birthday, I am sure it will have pride of place in his home.
