Vasily Lazarenko has built a car which has a wooden body made of thousands of oak parts.
His car is a balance between modern and vintage design. Thus, the right side has a ‘retro’ look, while the left side is more ‘modern’. Under the wooden bonnet there’s a 1981 Opel with a 100-horse-power engine. The wooden body has been assembled with glue and bolts and is covered with five layers of waterproof and fire resistant lacquer.
Lazarenko’s creation goes well beyond a few strips of wood on either side of the vehicle. He not only carved his entire car body out of wood, but he actually carved two different cars, one for each side. The passenger side of the car has a retro roadster look while the driver’s side is decidedly more modern.
He fashioned the entire exterior out of oak, with a few coats of veneer putting on a nice finishing touch.
Vasily is reluctant to reveal how much the project cost but says he’ll consider selling the wooden car provided he gets enough money to pay for his next secret project.
