Topic: Something a bit different for a tail section.

[Lostboy Steve]

Sometimes, like any good project I start with a plan, and it slowly evolves into something completely different. A while back I was experimenting with a stave snare drum project and I realized that with some glue, dowels and a lot of sanding anything was possible. Long story short, my "cafe" seat didn't fit the way I had hoped. So here is my wooden bastard battery cover. There will eventually be a light assembly above the mounting platform as soon as I figure out how to mold translucent plastic.

The whole plan for this bike was to be minimal and inexpensive. Then I started to think a functional barn find look would be cool. 90% of this bike, including the wood is from scrap or spare parts.

Its growing on me.  It works well with your other detail choices.

I think if you want to do that, it needs a few more bits like that..

I agree Frank. I don't know what those would be though.

Google southwest Indian cochinka medallions.  The kind a cowboy would have had on his pistol belt or saddle straps

Leather rifle quiver mounted to front fork might be a nice touch.... . Seriously, that is very creative work.
