A wooden tractor!

A couple of days before the end of our holiday we went to the Quiberon peninsula, where there just happened to be a farming and agricultural show. Amongst the cows and horses on display were a couple of quite amazing exhibits.

This wooden tractor, along with some full-size wooden motorbikes and even an all-wood hand plough, were all made by a chap who also showed off his collection of hand planes from round the world. The tractor was just so lifelike that we had to have a bit of a discussion about whether you could build an internal combustion engine with only wooden parts. We decided not, but we'd be happy to be corrected.
