Oh, and the wheel has some neat characteristics. First, the metal center is a full .25” thick, making for a very rigid wheel. The wood is done exactly like the 356 B and C Carrera wheel with several teak layers in segments joined at specific angles and an ebony middle layer. Unlike the very large Carrera wheel (16”?), my wheel is a bit smaller at 15”, which meant recalculating all the angles - lots of work!
I think it turned out beautifully. Mike does too, and will offer them for sale.
