The Splinter: Car Woven Out of Wood

Car Woven Out of Wood

When you think about car customization, you think about installing a stereo or a turbocharger or something like that, but Joe Harmon and gang have gone a step further and built their own custom car - literally woven out of wood.

The high-performance Splinter is made almost entirely of wood composites and is bonded with professional strength polyvinyl alcohol, urethanes, and epoxies. The body itself is cherry strips weaved together by a homemade "wooden loom".

With even the wheels made of wood, you'd think we were back in the Stone Age, but that's definitely not the case. Multiple videos below demonstrate Harmon's incredible process.
