Hardwood Computer "The Nature Case"
This Computer Case is made out of Walnut and hard Maple, Acrylic and Lexan. It supports Micro ATX Motherboards. It will hold 3 Internal hard Drives. 4 80mm fans (2 intake and 2 exhaust) 1 External DVD or Blue Ray Drive and 1 External card reader. The theme of this computer case is Nature. There is a carving of some Elk by the river on one side and a Deer sitting in the grass on the other side. On the front there is a carving of a Owl and one of a Spruce tree over the intake fan.. On the back there are two designs carved in the wood over the exhaust fans. On the top there is a 3D carving of mountains around a mirrored lake. This is not a metal case wrapped in wood, each piece of the project was custom made for the purpose it serves. The cost of this computer depends on the hardware and software wishlist of the buyer. Here is an example of a $1500.00 custom computer parts list.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
My name is Dave and I like to build stuff. I build Custom Wooden computers. ( mostly because my son thought it would be cool ) We have made about 7 unique designs that look awesome. We can also build one to suit, installed with hardware to order.
I get a great sense of satisfaction after creating something from an Idea. Regardless of the size or details of the project, I have fun making it.

For Frames5.0Dave worked very hard to make the project to my specification. He went out of his way to make sure the project was great quality and exactly what I wanted. I would recommend anyone to Dave that was looking for a custom woodworking project.

For Miniature Bridge Replica4.8After the hotel staff threw out our wedding cake topper—a custom made replica of the bridge on which we got engaged in Venice—I have searched high and low for an artist who might be able to recreate it (the original artist was not available anymore). Dave from Hardwood Creations wrote back to my CustomMade project request with examples of his work, his plan for the project, and an estimate on timing and budget. Along the way, I received many emails from Dave with updates (including photos). He also sent me a note whenever he wanted to make sure I was alright with the direction he was taking. His recommendation to inscribe part of the bridge with my and my wife's initials and our wedding date made the project feel that much more personal. After his first build didn't come out exactly as he planned, he asked for a short extension on the deadline. This was fine with me and I even offered to up the budget a bit—considering the extra time and material he was putting into the project to get it just right. Dave said he wasn't concerned about the money, just wanted to make sure couple of extra days would be alright. In the end, the bridge arrived in time for the holidays and my wife and I were both delighted with the result. We owe a great deal of thanks to Dave for the superb attention to detail and craft.

For I would like a wooden walking stick that has lobster plus the number 32 carved in the handle. I have a General manager that worked for Red Lobster for 32 years and is retiring. This GM likes to go hiking in the woods with his wife.5.0Dave did an awesome job of delivering what I described to him via email. He turned my "vision" into a real life walking staff that will be used by the gentleman that retired for many years to come. The receipenty of Dave's creation was amazed!
