Carson Catlin's Playsam "Fungusamongus" custom for Super7's fundraiser show!

We posted a couple of pics yesterday showing off Carson Catlin's contribution to the upcoming "PLAYSAM 500" show being held at Super7 in San Francisco. The show itself, the contents of which will be sold and the proceeds donated to the World Childhood Foundation, requires each artist to customize an iconic Playsam Streamliner Classic.

And instead of me waxing poet about the design or execution (I did that in yesterday's post), here's Catlin himself to tell you more:

This is the first time I have ever worked with wood, and boy was it fun. I started by sketching out the design and then slowly drilled away with a dremmel. My goal was to achieve something similar to my cuts pieces but came away with a mushroom looking thingy. Thats why its called fungusamongus. I painted the wheels with light green acrylic and finished them with a high gloss laquer. The body was stained twice and then sanded down to reveal the unstained wood. To finish it and give a it warm gloss I waxed the car a bunch, like for at least three hours.
