New Motorcycle

Wooden Motorcycle

A friend bought me this wooden motorcycle at a local auction. I quite like it. The artist spent a lot of time on the little details like wheels that roll and a working sidestand. There are even little wooden spark plug wires. It appears to be made entirely of wood except the metal axels, steering head, and pivot for the sidestand. I put it in the living room, so I can see it more often.

  1. Really nice workmanship! Are the light and dark different kinds of wood?

  3. Wow, that is really neat. I can't imagine having that much talent. Someone put a lot of work and love into creating that. Very nice.

    1. Talent and patience. There are so many little details that look like they took a lot of time.
