A wooden iPod.
Hand made using a dremel
Wood is African Padauk.
This is a fully functional 4th generation iPod.

pretty sweet lookin! i wonder if you have to use a little more force when using the click wheel?

he better hope the wood doesn't swell and crush his iPod

It looks lovely in a very Victorian-London-gentlemen-club sort of way. Beats the tacky plastic or even tackier Gucci and Louis Vuitton covers any time.

cool looking!!! but i like the normal iPod look

what if he wanted to get it out? does he have to break the wood?

it's got to be pretty darn heavy too. i was thinking he was using balsa wood or something really light, but that ipod looks like it would weigh a ton.

That is slick! Perfect accouterment to a wood-grain dashboard. I wonder if the wheel works though?

Click to expand...

I was wondering that too... it looks sweet though.

Original article with a howto guide and more pictures. It's not THAT heavy, that wood is only two millimeters thin.

that's absolutely insane. he's done his entire desktop computer, monitor, card reader, speakers, and now his ipod. that's so sick. i'm big into reading up on pc mods. now i'm going to check out mac mods.

he says on the site that it is fully functional

I like the whole computer setup... is that a mac he did that to?

Mac modding is cool... as long as it isn't taken too far. I put a casewrap on mine, and added an LED in there so I can see the proc fans going roundy-round while it's running. The wood thing looks cool though- I'm impressed!

Everytime i think I have seen the most bazarre things, something else comes along. I must say tho, the attention to detail is very good.

Only with a Mac. Amazing job...!!!

A good site for anyone interested in checking out Mac mods would be AppleFritter
