Building houses out of logs is quite possibly one of the oldest ways to construct a warm home, but using the same “technology” to turn the automotive world upside-down, now that may just get people’s attention. For those who haven’t been watching the reality television series Timber Kings, there’s one thing you should know: they make some of the most exquisite log homes around the world.
I myself am crazy about houses made of wood. The closer to its natural shape it gets, the better. They say people are eager for things that pertain to their minds, and since I’m into natural objects, I am allegedly looking for things different from what we see in the stressful urban life. We’ll live the mental phenomena to shrinks for now and tell you this instead: there’s nothing calm with this contraption.
It’s log on wheels that looks like a rocket, and this thing is not here to stay calm. “It has a lot of character; it's not just a round car. It has fins that are actually part of the original tree,” said Bryan Reid Sr., founder of Pioneer Log Homes of B.C. and one of the stars of HGTV Canada’s Timber Kings.
In an interview with CBC, the team’s leader says the tires are rubber, the axles and frames are metal, and the wheels aluminum, but the rest of it is all log. It’s a car made out of a single piece of western red cedar that weighs 2,200 pounds. After it undergoes a $100,000 paint job, it could become the only wooden vehicle in the world aiming at the title of the fastest log car.
Whether or not this big boy will ever become that, we don’t know, but it should be ready somewhere before Christmas. It's then when it will go under the hammer at a charity auction. According to the source, this unique contraption is here to help out a military veteran group.
