I’ve seen it all now… A Wooden iPod

Now, I DO NOT like iPods all. I am anti-ipod. Yes, the iPod is a great gadget, but its too much of a "status symbol" now. Caddilac makes a great car, but I never want to own one for the same reasons. Despite my dislike for this gadget, I have to share this little bit… A Wooden iPod!

ZapWizard aka Joshua Driggs, has created a modern masterpiece merging the best of real wood craftsmanship with uber-high-tech design in his project, dubbed the Wood iPod.

As part of his Project Redwood, Driggs is sytematically applying a redwood finish to everything on his desk. The Wood iPod has especially captured the eyes of the modding community — and beyond. Taking a sleak, stylishly designed piece of hardware like the 4G iPod and IMPROVING it with a replacement redwood casing isn’t an easy task — it requires an artist’s hand AND the willingness to void your semi-protective warranty.

Driggs is far from the first one to integrate fine wood with inorganic technology casing, but Driggs has truly honored the iPod with his finely fashioned "brightwork" (aka wood) as we call it here in Annapolis. It would be pretty cool to see an iPAQ tricked-out like this — all it takes is a little wood and a lot of confidence.
