This is interesting, but I don't see any prices listed. The link for more information is dead, but the company says they do COM/CAD stuff, so I assume these are CNC'd.

They also have this guy. The wood keyboard:

wow, those are really impressive!!  I would like to see the underside, because I think if the wood is milled like a plastic cap it would be very brittle.  Does anyone know what kind of wood they are made from?

The wooden keyboard cost pretty much at a price that not many want to pay for, wood keycaps interest check cum group buy was on Geekhack some time back before the roll back , and sadly, it didn't go through.
