Wood wheel
 

I did a search and don't think this is a repost. Either way I thought it was pretty cool.

KOOL :thumbsup:

someone has way too much time on their hands....

prety cool though.. my only question is "but why?"

Thats awesome!!!!:thumbsup:

I know some one else on this forum that built a wood wheel but it wasn’t that nice

I wonder if it would catch on fire if you did a burnout? :lol:

I am also confused... Why would you do that? It's still really cool though. :thumbsup:

Wow, killer craftsmanship. Does anyone know that guy?

That is cool:thumbsup: all you need is a glass top and you have a killer table.

That's for sure!

That would be a killer table.

if you had to pay for that, it would be cheaper to just buy a wheel and tire....

no kidding. The real thing would be cheaper.

Damn good idea, I think I need one tire and a HRE please...

I would love to have that as a table. And it wouldn't even smell like a tire. :D

That is really cool!!

You ask Why?

Because he is not making a wheel and tire, He is creating, "Art".

More specific it's called Sculpture.

Most of the Car Builders ARE Artist. It's just the medium, (Wood instead of Aluminum) that is different.

Watch a good body man do a custom panel, fender or scoop. Same thing, Sculpture. Then a more traditional Art is applied. (Paint)

Nelson Engines are, "Operating Sculptures".

In many cases the artist doesn't need a reason why their doing it, only the desire to.

Have you noticed how many of the builders of the greatest cars, often finish a project, then shortly thereafter, sell it and start a new one?

They are the Artist among us. I was born with a great appreciation of Art, mixed with poor talent. :(

That's why I probably see it this way.

Thoughts?

I apologize if the tone comes off pompously, it is not intended. I just truly appreciate/admire/envy the talents some people are probably born with.

Ty - that was very well said.:thumbsup:

Not to change the subject, but any ideas how he did the chrome?

"No, I meant WOULD you make me a wheel!" :D

With my luck it wouldn't have fit!

Could've been AlsaCorp.
(There are several others coming out with their own now)
You paint it gloss black and then the silver. Surface HAS to be perfect! Absolutely NO blemishes or they will jump out like a pimple on a supermodel!

AlsaCorp even makes it in a spray can now.
