Photo: Hand-Carved Wooden Dashboard

September 18, 2012 By Nadeem Muaddi

We’ve seen some wacky car interiors, but this Russian Lada with a hand-carved wooden dashboard takes the cake! According to Autoevolution, a Ukrainian man whittled it out of a single block of wood. He made the steering wheel as well.

The dash features carved depictions of flowers, lizards and even a working squirrel-themed glove box. While all of the vehicle’s dashboard gadgets seem to be intact, it’s probably safe to assume there’s no airbag.

I can’t say the dashboard looks beautiful, but it certainly is unique. My only concern is splinters – you know, in case of an accident.

To see more pictures of this crazy wooden dashboard, check out Autoevolution.

      Unfortunately I don’t. But if you visit the link to Autoevolution’s site, they have a lot more photos of the dashboard from different angles.
