It might not be the lumberjack-vehicle Brymer Mugford created when he made his own Toyota pickup truck re-bodied in wood, nor is it a wooden Bugatti Veyron replica. But what really makes this Chinese’s homemade truck special is the “accessories” he designed it with.
Carving wood is one of humankind’s oldest occupation and all these petrolheads with great talent at turning plain wood in work of art stand as proof it will never die. Heck, some even look that good you could swear there’s a V16 under the bonnet, like the case is for the Bugatti Veyron created by the talented handcraft artists from Boyolali, Central Java, Indonesia.
But then you’ll say that nothing truly compares with our recent discovery, a steampunk 6-wheel land yacht. The steam-powered futuristic vehicle comes with copper piping and wood decking and was finished with a royal theme. Or maybe you’re among those that like to always confute, claiming this is the 21st century, which means if it’s not made of carbon fiber it doesn’t exist.
What ever the case might be, we’re pretty sure you’re going to appreciate this man’s effort, at the very least. Liu Fulong is a carpenter in Shenyang city, Liaoning province, but whenever he has some spare time he likes to create things for himself. It’s the case with this wooden electric vehicle that he “armed” with some radars and missiles. They're obviously not real, but would still make you turn your head say the car would pass bye.
The talented Chinese carpenter claims to have spent nearly four months and 20,000 yuan ($3,250) building the vehicle, which is 2,5 meters (6,5ft) long, 1,3 meters (3,2 ft) wide and weighs over 350 kilograms (771 pounds). Not only does it look tough, but reports are it’s able to hit a maximum speed of 50 km/h (31mph). The best part? It’s thousand times better than the mahogany Lamborghini Roadster.
