Just finished this motorcycle project for a customer. It measures about 13.5 long and 7.5 high. Looks like the gas tank needs a little work.

The width is 2.25 . I don't have have STL, it was done with a pair of 3/4" boards in a sled with pattern and a mirror image , then sandwiched with a 3/4" piece through the middle. The main body was designed in CW designer . Nothin' fancy.

Capt Berry The carve time said just under 3 hr.s but was a little over with bit changes and measuring. That was just for the yellow body schell. The wheels are MDF , held on to the body with dowel rods. I only worked on this an hour or two at a time for about 3 weeks, in addition to making a school buss ,restoring a vanity, refinishing another piece and working a full time job.

Leo I thought the color would come out yellow, but instead it has a tint of green to it .
The wood was an extra piece of Cherry I had laying around . (Cherry carves wonderful) with a gray primer, then John Deere Yellow spray can. It may have been more yellow if I would have used White primer.
