Wood Supercar

Joe Harmon is building an almost all wood car for his master’s thesis (gee, what’s he gunna pull off for his doctorate?) that is amazing. It has a design reminiscent of a Lamborghini. The body and other panels are made out of a woven wood structure - and he made the loom to weave the wood. No, two-bit project, he has engendred some substantial sponsorships.

As both a carpenter and a car guy, I find what he’s doing fascinating very well executed. Check it out at Joe Harmon Design.
