When awesome technologies intersect the sum can be even greater than the parts. Such is the case with the Channel Islands Wood Biscuit, a cutting edge board design crossed with old-school materials. It's beautiful, it's functional, and I need it.
These wooden Blackbox Macbook cases are more stylish than the one's we've seen before and even more detailed. Each case is hand oiled, hand sanded, hand rubbed and individually numbered. It only weighs 1.5 pounds too.
It's gorgeously intricate and a hefty 50 pounds, but don't expect this hand-carved engine to do more than impress your friends. That's okay, though—at $6,000 on eBay, it's probably the closest to Ferrari ownership you'll get.
You know that eccentric uncle, who sits surrounded by leather-bound books in his study, drinking whisky? That's how I imagine these laptop cases smell...only, you know, more IKEA-pine than antique-oak.
And that state is, appropriately, applewood. Carved with some intricate MacBook detailing, it's the perfect Apple-related kitchen accessory for you fanboys (and girls) out there. It's a bit pricey though, starting at about $55. [designspray via Design Milk via Geekosystem]
JVC has updated their original wooden headphones by slashing their price as well as their size. The company claims the wood construction gives the earphones superior sound quality, in addition to superior style.
This Automata iPhone Dock by Murtaza Lakdawala is clever and useful, a combination rarely found in DIY projects. All you have to do is crank and the dock turns from vertical to horizontal.
Artist Yoshihiko Satoh's wooden speaker purse is actually pretty good-looking: It looks like speakers, not fabric, yet the size and design work as a purse (or at least an iPod carrier). It's expensive at $340, natch. [Boing Boing Gadgets]
This little project has been making the rounds as the "new Apple netbook," which, unfortunately, is way off. But the truth is pretty cool anyway: It's a beautiful pencil-drawn, wooden model.
If you thought the Chinese were going to undercut cheap Japanese USB drives with even cheaper versions, you've been drinking too much contaminated powered milk. These Mahjong drives are custom-engraved with three letters, such as the character on Mahjong pieces, your name or whatever dirty phrase you can come up with.…
The world's number one consumer of wood for casemods, Jeffrey Stephenson, has created another machine called the Pico Bayard. It's got a 1GHz Via C7 CPU, an 8-inch EarthLCD touchscreen LCD on the front, 1GB Crucial DDR2 memory, and integrated Wi-Fi.
Handmade Christmas gifts are the best, and this hand-carved wooden Sidekick 3 will definitely make this guy's girlfriend happy. Happy, that is, until she reads his forum post on Something Awful that says he didn't make the thing slide because "she's not THAT special." Oh you!
We've seen wooden cars before, but they've never looked quite as awesome as this supercar one-off that a team of graduate students is building. Named Splinter, the supercar is being constructed as a serious attempt to explore the uses of wood as a bulding material for vehicles, so it's even loaded with a supercharged…
This wooden car is the product of a Ukrainian man's dream, pursued after he quit his job and sold two cars to fund the construction. One half modern and one half vintage, the gorgeous oak detailing is built upon a 1981 Opel with 100 horsepower. We're not sure if it's more beautiful than the Tryane II woodenmobile, but…
We have already declared our love for wooden keyboards, but Geeks.com's offering has stolen our hearts without defiling our wallets. At only $20 for a mouse and keyboard, made from the original hard stuff, we are not too sure what more you could ask of the fine people at Geeks.com, nay, of life. Though the product…
Team Xtender just made an announcement today about two products coming in the next two months. The first is a half-sized Guitar Hero guitar that's made out of wood and sized for midgets. They claim that it will be easier to carry around, but you're not playing actual gigs with that thing.
Not as ghetto as the big Wooden Scony cellphones found in Mozambique, these HULGER phones are actually made of wood as a luxury thing. Constructed out of African Ziricote hardwood, which is usually used for decorative objects, the phone has its own wooden box and comes with a case of wax so you can wax your phone.…
Here are some hot new phones fresh off the streets of Pemba, Mozambique. Hopefully we don't get anyone sued for use of the "Scony" branding.
