Larry Yaskulka' Rocking Bulldozer

We're pleased to select Larry Yaskulka of Manchester, NJ for our Wood Finishing Showcase. Larry's project is a rocking bulldozer.

Dear Minwax,

I am the proud grandfather of 6 grandchildren. For each of their first birthdays I like to make them something special, this particular project had a little extra. I am a construction super and was watching a bulldozer rocking back and forth as it moved the dirt. I thought that would be a good idea for a rocking toy, so I took some pictures then made a prototype out of scrap materials and then proceeded to make the attached finished toy. The woods used where Wenge, Yellow Heart, Cherry, & Purple Heat.

I used your sanding sealer (which saves a great deal of tedious sanding time) and then brush applied 4 coats of your high gloss water based poly. I wish I knew about the Wipe-On when I finished it. I think your products are super. Keep up the good work.
