    Hi all,

    I've been working on this product for over 6months now and must say it does have its hurdles. Making it efficiently is the key. my difference from the regular crowd...only .075" thick and i use some nice exotic woods like morado, padouk, and purpleheart. But my favorite is wenge, simply classy look.

    just started listing it on etsy, hopefully full website eventually. making is one thing, selling is a whole different ballgame.

    Rudy, I don't want to get off topic, but I've considered Etsy for a product and was wondering about your experience? scottkport@gmail.com

    Default Hand Made

    Almost any product made with the cnc is well over 50% of hands on the product, you have design and set up. processing the wood, loading the wood, sanding the wood (which can be the longest process of all) finishing the wood. Why worry about what someone calls hand made. What the letter of the law allows is good enough for me... the wood phone covers are classified as hand made... All of the wooden products that I make is classified hand made. The man that made those spent more time sanding and finishing than was spent on the cnc. I got to see one of the phone covers at our local woodcraft store, looks like I will have to up grade my phone, (had mine for 6 years)

    Bad news Rudy. Amazon are now shipping these as "shipped from the the USA" but the price is an horrific $6.75.
