Hardwood Computer "The Scorpion"

$1,500

This Computer Case is made out of hard Maple, Mirrors, Acrylic and Lexan. It supports Micro ATX Motherboards. It will hold 3 Internal hard Drives. 2 120mm fans (1 intake and 1 exhaust) 1 External DVD or Blue Ray Drive and 1 External card reader. The theme of this computer case is Scorpions. I made this for a lady who saw the spider case and wanted a Scorpion case. There is a carving of a Scorpion on both sides and the front, the Scorpion on the front appears to be holding the intake fan. There is a carved design over the exhaust fans in the back.. There are mirrors on the top and bottom, inside and out. So if you look directly up or down inside the case the image goes on and on. 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.

A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.
Fast shipper
Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.
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.

Dave 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.

From start to finish working with Dave was very easy. He listened to what we were looking for and brought it to life. He is a very skilled craftsman and I look forward to using his talent in the future.

After 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.

Dave 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!
