Very neat woodworking done. What wood was used?

beautiful job but I'd hate to have to do the body work after a crash

CJ5. I wonder how much of this is wood, or laminate, or faux finish.

With today's vinyl wrap technology it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to do it in vinyl but quite difficult to make all of the grain patterns remain true.
I used to know a wood grin paint artist who cold pull it off with a brush but he would be more expensive than simply building out of wood to start with.
Laminate overlay could be as hard to keep the grain structure true to form as a wrap would.
so my vote is it is probably real wood in at least some areas

Wooden cars carved out of wood! You don't say.

It would be even more impressive if the wooden cars were carved out of soap. Or ice. Or ham.
