Santa's Helper


This Christmas I spend a few weeks working in “ Santa’s Wood Shop” building a Turtle step stool that also serves as a small chair plus a Turtle Block Truck pull toy for Morgan.  Oak was the wood of choice. The pull toy was a little more challenging. I did not want to use any chemicals for the blocks, so I used different types of hardwood (Oak, Hickory, Purple heart and Padouk) and applied mineral oil to bring out the color and grain. The box was made out of oak that was harvested in the early 1940.
