This is nice sculpture. A Ferrari meets almost none of my criteria for being an interesting vehicle. There are other sculptures I'd rather have, but this is pretty, well done, and in its way is a nice backhanded comment on the sports-car cult. Frankly, I’d rather have one of these than a Ferrari.

It is a form to contemplate on and respect. I'm sure it was an adventure to make, but the journey of it so far has probably put a few smiles on academics, car fans and artists. Art is never a waste.

Just out of curiosity, what vehicle do you find interesting? Wood fit in this one perfectly http://declubz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/wooden-ferrari-boat.jpg “A Ferrari meets almost none of my criteria for being an interesting vehicle”

What do you suppose possessed someone to carve this thing? At least it costs less than a real Ferrari engine.

I'm figuring Thai: I have seen some pretty detailed wooden bikes for sale there in tourist markets (nothing close to this in magnitude, of course). . .but the skill is there. Hell, due to geography I'm betting 100% on South East Asia: who else would have the patience? May I hazard a guess as to who may have carved this?

This thing only has the potential to light up a bonfire for a couple of hours. What a complete and utter waste of forest hardwoods.
