Retired and bored? Love Woodworking? Try this!

"A Bosnian retiree with a few years to spare and a love of woodworking has built his own replica Volkswagen Beetle almost entriely from oak. Momir Bojic, 71, used 50,000 separate pieces in assembling the car, with wood used for everything from the hood to his matching cap."

Betting it wouldn't fare well in safety ratings though.

Ever had a really bad splinter of wood stuck in you? Yeah... That.

The first car to ever get recalled for termites.

It's amazing the talent (and time) that some people have.

I don't suppose it wood be affected by Dutch elm disease, but there are plenty of wood-boring beetles that might like a nibble of it. ;-)
