Beautiful handmade toy paddleboat for sale

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5950900461&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

This finely crafted boat is handmade by a toymaker in Chester County
Pennsylvania using five different species of wood. Each level of the
boat is glued and pegged, then coated with five coats of high gloss
polyurethane, which makes this a very durable toy. When the rubberband
powered oak paddle is wound, the boat will slowly paddle the length of
a bathtub. This beautiful paddleboat measures 10 inches long, 5 1/2
inches wide, and 6 inches high. It makes for a delightful interactive
toy.

It's finished with polyurinestain and you already spammed us
yesterday.


Thanks for the plans though. We're all woodworkers round here, so I'm
sure someone has already made and sold a dozen.

Clearing the scrap box and making 30 minute projects again?

Thanks for posting that here. As you know, most of us make things from wood
as a hobby or a business. You've provided the inspiration for anyone here
to copy it.

Nice looking boat. Center of gravity too high to work well in bathtub
though. and the poly finish looks good but doesn't hold up well to use in
water. Nice shelf project though.
