Awesome - just awesome.  I love the way the familar (and beautiful design) has been taken that step further, the feel of the hardwood on the smoothness of the curves for the body of the scooter, taking the coolness of the metal and making it a tactile delight.

It was fashioned out of laminated hardwood by Portuguese craftsman Carlos Alberto.  It is based on a vintage Vespa that had fallen into complete disrepair. A new body was constructed from steam bent veneers and carved wood - and what a beauty to behold.
