I think Im gunna do it in teak.

Might I suggest a oil finish for teak? I think Teak is gorgeous finished in a UV protective oil.

Looks awesome bud... Just picked up the $45 rack you linked to play with it and see what I can come up with.

Yurrrr missing a fender. Just sayin'

But the roofrack looks amazing. Something similar is on my list of things I want to do once I get my p.o.s running. Top quality.

What kind of wheels are you running?

I don't think anyone has mentioned it, but is it sturdy?
Like for maybe a few pieces of luggage? I dig the craftsmanship.

Shut it Tom ;) I have a WTB thread up looking for one right now. I cannot find any in the junk yard. I am looking for a matching one right now. I would rather not paint to match...would look better then my car xD

Still looking for one Aaron, and thanks.

Currently Rota slipstreams in E30 fitment of: 16x8 et20. I got them off of Tom aka ttrousdell on here. I needed bigger wheels to fit my UUC BBK on till I got my BBS RS done.

If you saw my other thread I am building a set of BBS RS. They are still at the powdercoater. They are 16x8/8.5

so sick, i love how you eliminated the standard crossbars.

I wanted a rack that was unlike the norm that the Euro/Imports use. I searched and searched to get an idea of what people do and it came off as used wood cut up and bolted to the OE cross bars. So I just made my own with carriage bolts to set it off. You can just see the care that went into the wood alone. Honestly it is too nice to mount shit to it.

I took weights off my bench set and it held 130lbs without any trouble. I guess it might be hipster, but I built it to hold odds and ends IE: wheels, and old vintage things to give it a cool look. Like what the VW bug does with their racks if you know what I mean.

And the rack does not weight that much, I would have to say 45lbs or so.

In before "is that all you have" ;)

That's the bee's knees!

Thanks, my brother has two bumble bees tattoo'd on his knees. Made me laugh because you said that.

This is some great work and looks amazing. My only thing is I don't really care for the two tone look. I really like the lighter stain look, I think it fits better with the overall look. Just my $0.02.
