"This is a rare handcrafted wooden Ferrari V12 engine. The entire engine, including the manifold is handcrafted out of wood. The engine is based on the Ferrari 365GTB V12 engine. It’s about the same size as the original engine and weights about 25kg or 50lbs."


Is it me, or do some people have entirely too much time on their hands? I'll admit, that's pretty damn cool, but......

I think it's pretty cool, actually. But I love working with wood.(waiting for the gay jokes on that one...:p)

Besides....I enjoy making replica movie props, so I can't talk much. :shifty:

Well, I mean, it's absolutely cool and an incredible feat in woodworking, but, it just seems.. I dunno, make a time machine or something... but a Ferrari engine?

Where's the wooden flux capacitor when we need it? :lol:

...and I promise, i won't make any jokes about you working with your.. <ahem> "wood" :elol:

First off, I wish I had the sort of skills it took to craft that faux engine, but the thing is the end product is just so completely random and unnecessary that it's normal for it to seem completely pointless to us.

Well, don't fret, 'cause the thing is for sale on ebay for $6,000.00 USD (http://cgi.ebay.com/Ferrari-365-V12-engine-/130400395269?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e5c782005) :stunned:
