David;
There are like about 7 different types of spokes used from 1909 to 1927. The 21 inch, I think were all the same, the 30 steel fellows had two different lengths depending on the rim manufacture and 3 different tenons, 1/2 5/8 and button. The non demountable wheels had about 3 different cross section profile and of course two different lengths of the spokes for front and rear. By time you buy and split the hickory, dry it to the proper moisture content ruff out the blanks, turn them and make some mistakes along the way, you are getting deep in the pockets and time. Some spokes you can buy ready made from several places. google "mtfca wood spokes" . Not trying to dissuade you but there is more then turning a few spokes out from a plan. |

Redmodelt.
I'm not interested in making spokes. I've had one bad experience in purchasing them. They were 3/16" too long and I wasn't about to modify them. The supplier resisted my returning them for credit. (plus I had to pay for return shipping) I want to be able to give any supplier the Ford dimensions to insure receiving a usable product. David |
