Woodworking Art has got us hooked and waiting for the next piece of art to take shape and see the light of the internet. The Vietnamese carpenter behind the name makes some of the most detailed and accurate wooden car replicas and his latest project is another great proof of that.
This time the artist chose a midsize crossover as his model and went with the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe. Woodworking Art is usually obsessed with details and making the wood replicas as accurate as possible, but this time he made an extra effort to make the car stand out even more.
The carpenter admits on his Facebook page that he loves the styling of the Santa Fe, its interior, front end, and wheels. And it really shows in his video, as he worked very carefully and elaborately on the suspension and wheel rims.
Just like all his car replicas, the Santa Fe is also carved out of Fujian cypress wood, with a glossy coating. This type of wood is very appreciated in Vietnam and is commonly used for furniture, art objects, and so on. The reason why is its high density, characteristic aroma, and the fact that is a resilient timber against termites.
The Hyundai replica took him approximately 32 days to be finished and has a 1:13 proportion to real size. It weighs 3 kg (6.6 lb).
Woodworking Art carefully carved all the specific details of the Santa Fe and even shows us what’s under the hood of the car. The seats are glossy and he even screwed in headlights and painted the taillights in red.
You can order the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe on Woodworking Art’s Etsy page for approximately $840 ($1,024).
Hyundai Santa Fe was launched two decades ago by the South Korean car maker but the 2021 model didn’t receive the best reviews. In fact, it was penalized by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) over marginal, poor headlights that offer inadequate visibility in several scenarios. The low beams also create excessive glare according to IIHS.
