One of our customers passed along photos of quite a unique bike he built from scratch. While the bike may not be street legal, it's a pretty incredible project.

It's a motorcycle constructed completely of wood and built with remarkable precision. While Charles Smith initially planned to build a wooden motor and create a table with it, a friend suggested he put together a Fat Tire Chopper. So that's what he did.

Ash frame, Brazilian Cherry spokes, Oak oil tank, Pine gas tanks, Apple Wood oil filter, hemp rope cables and wires.

The bike doesn't take gas, but runs (or at least rolls) on sap so it's environmentally friendly. Smith's real bike is a 1974 Shovelhead, so he gets around just fine on iron, too.

This was his second large scale bike, and Smith has plenty of smaller model wood bikes he's pieced together - some of which can be seen on his website.

Without a doubt, the Fat Tire was easily his biggest undertaking yet. The bike took Smith about 9 months and around 1500 hours to build. For now, the bike sits at the Glenn Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport, New York. It's also been featured on display at Sturgis in 2011 and Laconia in 2012.
