Yes, Virginia, there is a mid-engine super-car made out of wood! And it's called The Splinter! This process is so ridiculously cool. The body is made from woven cherry strips. Check out the video to see the "wood loom" that these guys built to make the body. Also, hop over to the Splinter website to see more process videos that are guaranteed to blow your mind. Smart, smart, smart. Thanks to my buddy Geraly for passing this on!

About DudeCraft
DudeCraft represents a different kind of tribe in the world of making things, intentionally blurring the lines between, art, craft, engineering, and the good old “Can Do” spirit. Makers of all stripes are welcome here and are encouraged to join the conversation, no matter what their enthusiasms. Guys who knit, girls who weld, it’s all the same on DudeCraft. We are people who make cool stuff, have an urge to share it, and don’t mind explaining how we did it, so that other folks can benefit from our experience.
