This model, entirely built in red cherry wood, shows how the type of wood is essential in the success of a wooden model.
Entirely created by our designer Andrea Bravi who, starting from Leonardo’s drawing, optimized the various components making the reconstruction possible while maintaining correspondence to the original model.
Elements have been added that make rotation and lifting movements possible.
You can “play” with the model by simply rotating the entire machine and using a crank to lift and deposit the weights in another point
