Making a wooden gear appear as if it's a rusty old gear takes a little work, but it's worth the effort. Metal gears are heavy and hard to come by, but these are light weight...about the same as a typical picture frame. This makes them ideal for home decoration.

These are 3/4 thick gears. The largest gear is 12 inches and the smallest is about 4 inches. If you are looking for a stem class example or working with simple machines this is ideal. Readily available in three different configurations.
