Home Made Wooden Fenders

[crazydave58]

So...I wanted wooden fenders for my new Moulton tsr but didn’t want to cough up a couple hundred bucks so I thought why not make my own..did some research on YouTube etc....my buddy gave me some nice North American ash and I had some spare copper pipe to make brackets...and some inlays..

..soaked the wood in my bathtub for 12 hours or so...the fenders were only 1/8inch thick and 1 1/2 inches wide so they bent quite easily..let them dry for a couple of days on the wheel...walnut stained and 4 coats of gloss varathane..attached the brackets to the fenders and got them on the bike ok...fit quite nicely..cost me about $20 so far...plus alot of man hours....I will probably make fender struts as well over the next couple days to pull the rear fender in a bit....will post when done

I don't like most wodden fenders. Most of them are just overpayed pieces of wood, that look weird, flat & generally crude. Now that thing made me think if I don't want a set for myself Very good job!

Also the whole bike looks super cool.

Decided to put the fender brackets View attachment 112730 View attachment 112731 on the inside of the fenders

I kinda like the bling on the outside.

Yeah..I didn’t mind it too...but I made the struts on the front too short..so as a result it brought the fender too close to the tire..so had to put the bracket on the inside so it would fit...didnt want to spend an hour or so making a new piece..and thought it would look better if the fenders matched

I think under looks better. They've wooden fenders, not wooden and copper fenders. You'd have to change the thread title!

Nice job! I like the struts under better

Those are some elegant wooden fenders you've made for your bike! The copper and brass fender accessories really add a touch of classiness, and do a lot to make the bike they're mounted to really pop! And it only cost you just a little over $20?! That's sweet! Good job!

There is a local guy that made his fenders on his single speed Schwinn road bike out of old pieces of wood.
