Wood is the new Carbon !

Amazing creations from a dutch engineer who has built a race bike who's frame is constructed from 34 layers of Birch wood.

The frame is strong but quite heavy at 9kg but looks sensational.

How much for this beauty, only between 14,500 and 16,000 euros each

Wood is nature's composite material.

A beauty, and you are right, wood is strong, easy to find, quite easy to tool. With a layer of epoxy, or epoxy/fibre glas very strong.
I am building a trike, with a coach work in wood. Welcome to follow the project on my blog.
