Wood…

[TheBug]

Made from a single piece of beech wood. Key caps are at the positions where they were in the original piece. Cherry keyboard underneath with internal PS/2 to ADB converter (Mac version…). The power key actually powers on the computer (if it has a native ADB port…) by signalling to the power supply to start up.

Caution: Might match too well with your table, do not put stuff on it…

Woah... impressive work. May I ask why you chose beech instead of other woods?

[TheBug]

I did not make this myself, I supplied the electronics and that was my free sample

So I was not questioning the choice of the wood. I have used that keyboard for a while on my Mac but ADB is a long gone interface. Could not convince myself to gut this unit and convert it to USB, so today it is just a show piece.

Crikey mate! That's impressive wood carving skills. How was it done? Numerically controlled machining? What treatment was the finished wood given? Danish oil?

They did use CNC milling, but I have no idea how they treated it. These things did cost quite a bit, but the quality is really superb.
