This car was at the Quesnel car show today. It is being built by Pioneer Log Homes of Williams Lake....which some of you may know as "Timber Kings" of
Reality (ya right) TV fame.
It is turbine powered and it is their intention to have it running within six months. Better watch the episodes on this one !!!!:) For more photos of Quesnel go to the events section.







 
Some thoughts on the Wooden Hotrod: I wooden have thought it possible, but it looks like it turned out oak-k. It takes alotta balsa to attempt a project of that magnitude, fir sure, elm impressed. I suspect they had help, but they're mahogany all the credit. They alder produce them for sale, I'm sure it would prove poplar. But it would be bad if customers got slivers in their ash, they would probably birch about it! (this would require a doctor with tweezers to teak a look) Their model range would need to have several sizes of Wooden Rods, small, medium & larch. People in Santa Monica would use them as beech cruisers.
Walnut olive you will find this humorous, maple some of you will?? That is all:)

lol

....ahhhh, the theory of unintended consequences -where the nose-piece resembles an orifice where the sun don't shine and the tail-piece resembles an appendage that needs Viagra......

This particular tree was at the edge of the forest and looked up at the big Oak
tree and said " Mr. Oak tree, what kind of a tree am I ? "
The wise old Oak tree said....." I don't know whether you are a son of a beech or a son of a birch, but your mother was the best piece of Ash this forest ever had".
 
Oak A, oak A, I'll knot get into this one. I'll just leaf it alone.
