Process: Woodgrain Bike Frames from Etsy on Vimeo.

For over 40 years Rob Pollock has been perfecting the art of faux woodgraining. Traditionally used in the restoration of classic cars and vintage hot rods, Rob has applied this technique to custom bike frames. Each frame is hand painted by Rob himself and finished with two pot epoxy resin to give a hard durable finish.

Rob has worked his entire career in the automotive industry. A panel beater by trade, he carried on the family business, RJ Pollock & Sons, from his father. They were one of the premier panel and paint repair companies in New Zealand




Rob in the early days used to race speed boats. Here he is driving a boat he made with his father called Rock Em.
