KZ400 Butternut Bent Wood Lamination

07 Mar 2011 10:01

SO last spring when I joined this forum I asked a lot of questions on my KZ400 build and I would like to thank everyone for all their help. I mentioned I would try and build some wood fenders for the bike and now after almost a year of no posts, here they are: ( the bike is actually sold now and I bought a 1978 kz750 ) Hope you guys enjoy!

Did you actually do some cooperage or was it carved to shape? Coopering is a slowly dying art form.

Nah no coopering for me, probably would have added a nicer touch, just bent wood that was then carved
