Frequently Asked Questions
For steering wheels, you can choose between Kwila, Tasmanian Oak, Silky Oak and Victorian Ash, or If you would like your steering wheel to be made from any other variety of timber outside this range, just let me know and I will endeavour to source this for you.
For wooden spokes with steel felloes I use air dried Spotted Gum.
For wooden felloe wheels I use kiln dried Victorian Ash, plus Spotten Gum spokes.
No. I would prefer to make the wheel as one item. This way the wheels are made tighter and you will get a better finished product.
This depends on whether it's a wooden felloe or steel felloe wheel. A wooden felloe wheel will take approximately 3 months, and a steel felloe wheel, approximately 6-8 weeks.
Steering wheels take approximately 4 weeks.
Preferably you should send painted rims, and cleaned and painted hubs, with all the required bolts and fittings cleaned and painted.

We do not supply rims, however if you require rims, we recommend Vintage Rims Australia.
