Momir Bojic, from Bosnia and Herzegovina, made a VW Beetle out of wood.

Everything from the bonnetto, the gearstick was carved in his garden workshop – with help from this wife. The couple also created wooden fittings for the pedals, wheel caps, bumpers, front turn signal lamps, tail-lights, wipers, side mirrors, steering wheel, parcel shelf, dashboard, glove box lid, clock and even the radio antenna.

The car features thousands of thumbnail-sized, finely sliced sections of oak designed to replace the commonly seen wooden tiled roofs in Bojic’s homeland.

Each tile involved 23 separate procedures, including cutting, chamfering, beveling, drilling and smoothing, before they could be applied to the vehicle.
