Biplane
I have been working on that biplane for at least two weeks, almost every nights. I gave it to my son for his second Christmas.
It is made out of the following woods:
- fuselage: a branch of incense cedar (Calocedrus formosana, 梢楠 in chinese), harvested after a recent typhoon
- wings: Taiwan incense cedar planks (Calocedrus formosana, 梢楠)
- propeller: Taiwan fir (Taiwania cryptomerioides, 亞杉)
- engine: Taiwan acacia (acacia confusa, 相思樹)
- cylinders: Taiwan camphor wood (cinamomum camphora, 樟木)
- wing dowels: teak
- Wheels axles, support: white oak, USA
