I believe the traditional woods for the hub, spokes and rim are respectively elm to resist the splitting forces at the hub, oak because of its strength under compression and ash for its springiness that will give a modicum of suspension. Are they the woods you have used? I too would like to see the tyre being put on.
A traditional craft slowly being lost, so sad. However you've made a fantastic job.
