Cars aren't traditionally made from anything other than plastic, metal and glass, but these designs by Isaac Cohen prove that wood is another resource able to be incorporated. 63-year-old Cohen has combined his love of automobiles with his dedication to craftsmanship to create vehicles that are surprisingly street legal; although I'm not sure if anyone would want one to drive everyday.
Cohen has worked as a wood worker in Houston, Texas for over 35 years, which has allowed his experience to grow exponentially. Built on the salvaged body of older vehicles, Cohen strips away the exterior and replaces it with beautifully carved bodies. With a wide variety of models that he has already carved, it might not be long before he has requests coming in for custom projects.
