Wooden Riser Bars



Alex just sent me this cool photo of the wooden bars he's making:

"Sugar Maple, 2007. House blend and Tung oil finish.

16" wide
2" rise
4" grip

(fits 4 bolt stems only)
"

The bars are made of 'reclaimed hardwoods' so they should be pretty ecological and everything. I'm really digging the way they look, very classy. Nice parts for that sunday bike of yours, maybe?

EDIT

So yes, the bars are made by FlourescentBrown Woodworks, check them out here.
