...it is made from mostly Basswood, the handlebars were made with a copper grounding wire, I started out handcarving it with carving knifes, but ended up carving my hands also, so I switched to power carving and found myself more proficient that way. I did not come up with the pattern on my own...so I have to thank...Cleve Taylor, and his book "Carving Motorcycle Riders". This was so much fun that I altered the plans and came up with a second version in which I will post at a later date. This "Chopper" now resides in the home of my friend, Marv Zarate, alias (pumpkin head), hope he enjoys it as much as I did building it.

Power carving tools?
That is good! I didn't know people were still carving things out of wood. I thought I was the last one left who did that. Kudos! Here's a little something I carved the other day. It was fun.
