It’s a ‘delightful blend of craftsmanship, family values, and the magic of woodworking’.
This BMW Lovos Custom King Cobra is no different.
The video sees him first build and weld a metal chassis and add the wheels before spraying it. black.
Next, he adds a battery and panels, before building up the body complete with moving wooden ‘scales’.
The serpent-like center console is hewn before being jigsawed into place along with the dash and seats.
Last the light-up steering wheel and console were added with lights also placed under the moving scales.
After finishing touches like wheel trims, badges, and varnish are added – she’s good to go.
Other wooden automotive creations
Far from being the first of his creative ventures, the dad previously built a fully working wooden Lamborghini Sian Roadster for his son.
Aside from its smaller scale and the material it’s made from, it’s almost indistinguishable from the real thing – it even has gullwing doors.
Meanwhile, this wooden 6×6 Rolls-Royce Phantom drives like a real $450,000 luxury car.
Dao Truong Van, told supercarblondie.com that he had dedicated 120 days to building the wooden 6×6 Rolls-Royce Phantom from scratch.
This is just scratching the surface, as well as his wooden Cybertruck he has crafted an entire collection of wooden cars.
All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
