I've never seen wooden rims in real life!

It would be a pretty fun carpentry project to build wooden rims!
Rims appeared to look like replacement steel until taking a magnet to them. I’ll post a pic along the way. I gave them a turn and the rims look surprisingly true for 120+yr old wooden rims. They will need a complete respoke and tires/tubes.

This is going to be very interesting.
