Cool 2 sweet rides

here's some of my last works that i finaly got some pics of . these come after i got hurt and was able to get up i wanted to put models together and i was looking for wooden model motocycles to put together the last one was the trick out chopper in 2003 and the dresser was made in 2001 it takes 18mths. to build one these are not kits there scratch built of wood, glue the wheels spokes are flat toothpicks laid, fanned just like a rim would be i use titebond glue so it takes forever to hold in place.dry the wheels turn and handle bars move it was all carved with a dremel the frame is maple all the other parts are yellow pine i have only seen one other person carve motocycles and they wasn't as detailed
i hope the members like them

This is a motorcycle I carved a couple years ago. The handle bars was able to move left and right - both tires was able to turn - kick stand would move in and out and the shift on the side was able to move up and down. I carved it out of cypress.
