Just think of all of the bandsawing, gluing, clamping, routering, sanding and finishing involved. That is really a piece of work, I would like to see a teardrop built by this guy. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Are you kidding me???????

WOW! That is T&A..

There is a guy in the southern US that makes really cool cars and things out of wood (I don't know if he can actually drive them) and it is very impressive. I will have to do a google search to find his ART
