COOL, always loved wood shop in high school. Great job..Crony

Beautiful. If a hobbit had a computer, this is what it would look like I think :)

Cool case, awesome working building it. However, two things bother me. No air flow? Somewhat poor wire management. Other than that, awesome job man. I gave you a 7/10.

most people that make wood cases don't do them right, but yours looks amazing. good job dude.

RavenasNo air flow?

Good point, looks like its all exhausting through the PSU. I guess it depends on how functional you'd like it, vs how much for show. Perhaps a fan behind some custom wooden lattice might look nice?

Air flow has nothing to do with flashy looks though...Even the most simple cases will have exhaust.

Love the case...Hate the lack of airflow.....8/10 from me

looks good no air flow wouldn't wont my 8800 Ultra in there lol

even though there is no airflow, my cpu idles at about 30 and peaks at 40

Beautiful. Minimalist design fits anywhere. 9/10

What did you use as a finish (Polyurethane, Polyacrylic, etc.) ?

so far i only used a fast dry sealer, this weekend i am going to varnish it.

I do not know how much you know about finishes, but here's a little tip if you are ever using a poly finish.

Polyurethane will yellow from UV exposure. For this reason, it is used regularly on oak as when it yellows it gives the wood that "Golden Oak" look.

This, of course, is undesirable with other light colored woods (eg. Maple). Polyacrylic will not yellow with UV exposure.

Polyurethane, however, is more water resiliant than Polyacrylic, so if you want greater water protection and and do not care about UV exposure, use Polyurethane.

I have a bunch of Maple and Brazilian Cherry at home. I think I may have to give you a little competition. ;)

I forgot to add that if you ever want a high-gloss mirror like finish, use shellac. Difficult to work with but the best for that type of finish.

love the wooden case, great build!

I voted 3/10 because:

You need clean up all component and hide cables betters.
