That's beautiful.
What woods do you use to make the wagon?

Thanks, I felled and milled all timber used on the wagon from trees all within 15 mins of the mill.

the chassis, framework and roof is caledonian pine with sika spruce dwangs/noggings.

panelling is European larch with elm finishings  

turn table and the interior bows supporting the roof are elm, and the roof is panelled with spalted beach 

the underside and overhangs are old Norway spruce.

 

the interior is unfinished but we managed to do the floor of the shower room in elm and hope to carry that right through, the walls are going to be framed with elm and panelled with spalted beach!

You must be feeling really pleased with the results of all your hard work already. You should. To have been able to do all that from local timber is even better.
I'm impressed that you managed to find enough big enough elm. Also slightly surprised as I was expecting that you were going to say you'd used ash for parts of the structure. I always thought it was the wood of choice for coach building. Did you consciously decide not to, or did it just work out that way, you didn't need any?

That is incredible. What an accomplishment to make something like that completely from scratch. What an amazing set of skills
