That is just incredible! I’ve rebuilt many quads and dirt bike motors but none made out of wood! :p How smooth does the piston slide in the bore? I’d imagine you waxed the parts up?

What’s the horsepower? Did you have to worry about grain direction in the cylinder walls?
Seriously, that is too cool.
Thanks for posting it.

How many CC’s? Expected HP range? Now you need a wooden dyno.
Very cool.

That’s amazing! I once saw a full sized harley davidson completely made out of wood, with everything on it but it did not move like yours. I always wanted to make one of these. Again truly amazing!

This is just more inspiration for me to move ahead with my idea of building an all wooden Ford 329 coffee table. I had briefly thought about making it move, but once my mind started thinking about the swelling from humidity and things getting stuck, I had settled on non-functional…maybe I’ll revisit the idea of making it move!
