I found an interesting three-video series about a guy who makes replacement spokes for his 1929 Whippet. The techniques can be used to make wood spokes for any marque. The author says, many times, that he is not a wood worker. He is obviously a good machinist, though.

Before I post the links to these videos, I want to mention that we have two good Technical Articles posted in the members only area of the main VCCA webstie that describe how to individuals make new wood spokes. They are definitely worth a read.

Here are the video links:
