walnut wood block pedals

[tailhole]

I made these walnut block pedals last night for a rat build. Not too hard to do...

testing the bolt holes

Beveled on tablesaw, oiled with black grease

These were pricey but crappy Torrington 10 repops, I upgraded the bolts.

Finished.

Very cool! Didn't Torrington do 8's with wood blocks at one point? Of course they weren't Walnut and they didn't look this nice!

I may try this on some crappy unmatched 8's that I have, but I'm going to route grooves down the length as well!

I believe they did. Please post some picks. I thought of doing the grooves, maybe on the next pair. I have some more cages, might dry ammonia fumed 1/4 sawn white oak on the next set. Keep your fingers!

I really like what you did with these, and I'd really like to see you do some with grooves too (they're beggin' for it)!

I have WWII wartime wooden pedal blocks.
They were produced in wood when all rubber manufacturing was for military.

These are really needing grooves .That would knock them out of the park.

Groovy baby!

Do not ride with a wet foot! maybe cross pattern to set them apart from the Torringtons..

Nice! Now make other bicycle parts in walnut as well!

Long thin pullback grips are next, then tanks/toolboxes.
