Another of my favorite woods. It is seldom found locally. In one piece colors vary from black to almost white. It often has defects as this bowl shows--a hole in the bottom. I believe some types of defects add to the personality of the wood.
The chassis is made of oak, the engine block is pressed particle board, the fenders are stained oak,
the roof is walnut and side panels
are myrtle wood.
One of my favorite woods is carob. It has beautiful grain patterns and the heart wood is bright red while the sap wood is white. Makes for some beautiful bowls. It is a native wood.
This is a 1921 Model T Ford convertible. It is made of various types of wood. Pressed particle wood, maple, walnut and oak. Some pieces are stained. Lots of fun to make.
