Sorry, I'll probably only be making this one and one or two more in different woods for myself. They're pretty time intensive to make.
Nubbinator, your wood work never ceases to impress me, your wooden keypuller and wrist rests, they're awesome, and now your wooden case... they're just :thumb:
what will you make with wood next? keycaps?
You mean like this?

nice
And update of case in action. I'll get some proper shots of it all once I get the suede leather lining in. I was also playing around with what cap I liked best for the Esc key, hence why there are several photos that have very little difference between them.

the wristrest is just awesome...
Starting of a prototype of a second style of wood 60% case I wanted to try and make. I'm still debating if I want a rounded foot or if I want disc style feet like I have on the one I made of poplar. This one may or may not be suede lined as well. It depends on how I feel about it once I make the case.
This one is done in Red Gum and Purpleheart and I may be making another two in Walnut and Padauk and Red Gum and Padauk.

That's the first wooden keyboard accessory that I actually want. I absolutely love it!
Necroing my own post since I didn't want to make a new topic.
I decided I wanted to try something a little different. Unlike my previous cases that had a palm rest and a case as two separate parts, I decided to make one that has an integrated palm rest.
This is purpleheart and paduak and will be a rich red and dark dark purple when finished. Currently they the case has been sanded down to 1000 grit. I'll be drilling the hole in the back for the USB cable, using a jig to drill holes for the standoffs, and then trimming up and seating the foot. After that comes the finishing and the really hard part, deciding if I'm going to go Alps or MX and what cap set to use with it.

I also decided to try something a little different and put an angle on each side of the palm rest. This enables a slightly more natural wrist position when my hands rest on the rest.

Edit: Noticed this had been in the media thread instead of making things together. Oh well.
This looks great! Did you notice that the Padauk swells up at all? I've found that it has a tendancy to do that. I love the combo of the purpleheart and padauk. Padauk is something I've only recently started seeing more of, and that vibrant red/orange color it has is amazing.
Great work. :thumb:
Better pics to come, but I love the combo. FaceW PCB (but the damn Fn key doesn't work) with AboStudio clear tops, purple switch stickers, clear MX stems, 67g springs, blue (cyanish color) anodized plate, lubed with Krytox, with the Cyan GMK set.

Daeumn this looks good! Also, clever thing with the standoffs.
And finished. FaceW PCB (but the damn Fn key doesn't work) with Krtox lubed MX Clears with AboStudio clear tops, purple switch stickers, and 67g springs, blue (cyanish color) anodized plate, with the Cyan GMK set and one of the GMK Esc caps from Ivan's buy.
