That is amazing work and detail. How many hours or years did you put into that project? What type of woodworking tools do you use to produce something that beautiful? Thanks for sharing your pictures.

I haven't posted for a while. I usually post pictures of birds taken from my kayak. I have posted a few of my woodworking projects in the past and here is my latest. A model of our new camper and truck. Made from walnut, cherry and oak to obtain the different colors. The complete outfit is 37 inches long and 8 inches wide. I hinged the top so that the inside could be seen.
Beautiful

Fantastic pictures and better woodworking. Great detail and bet that finish was hard to get on the wood. Son works at Forest River, alright if I send him a pic of this?
I enjoy woodworking as well and know the effort and time you put into that project.

Thanks for looking and your comments. It is ok to share the pictures. I don't sell my work so sharing pictures is all I get out of my work.

Beautifully done. Love the detail and finish. It reminds me of intarsia wood art. I'm not a betting guy but I think you may do intarsia wood art also.
I bought an intarsia pattern of a Goldwing motorcycle but have not got up the nerve to start it.

Back in the day, I had a 1978 Honda Goldwing. I can't imagine how an intarsia of it would look.

I worked on it on and off for about 3 weeks only working several hours at a time. I use standard shop tools. The cherry and walnut wood I have are in 2x6 boards so I have to start by cutting down to size which includes cutting 1/4 width strips and gluing them together to make wider boards. Different colors are obtained from different types of wood glued together. Some pieces are small so caution is important to keep all my fingers.

I hope to find out one day. I want to get some special wood to bring our the colors.

Very impressive. I can't cut a straight line with a table saw.
That could be useful in some of my projects because there are not many straight lines to cut, mostly curves.
