MG TD TF 1500 - Wheel project with hub...

For the fun of it I thought I'd see what a wooden hub turned out like. I found a piece of maple burl at the local shop for $15 and this is what I got after a couple of hours on the lathe. I still have to cut away some of the inside so the wheel will fit on...

Great Idea. I have had a chunck pf burl sitting around for 10 years now and as my center is in poor shape I may try your solution.

I have to say I never thought of it until another user on the forum suggested it... but it's a very nice additional touch. I really think it adds something.

Here is another interesting wooden hub. It's on a Mark II on eBay right now. Item number 161172458637.
