Anyone know who can make these??? Or if any companies offer this as an option? I'm not equipped to do it myself unfortunately but I'd love to outsource some stuff and put shielding in there. Any suggestions? Oh and I didn't put this in DIY because it doesn't get nearly the same amount of response.
I want to offer premium rehouses with wooded engraved enclosures. Wood is sooooooooooooo nice.

MWFX used to do it... and I know that there's a place in NYC that does noisemakers (not necessarily pedals) in wooden boxes... I know, not really helpful, but... hmmm. I love the idea of the engraved wood enclosures...
If that doesn't work out, what about engraving wood veneer that you could apply to the top of a regular enclosure?

Yea I could do that too! I know a local woodworker but I'm not sure if he'd have the time to do it. He definitely can do it though. I'm just exploring options. I still want to do metal, but now that I can do woods, and they look so damn good...man. lol

I would love to have my Monotribe rehoused in a wooden enclosure.
I also have no idea of anyone that's done it beyond some cursory customs and one offs.

Dutch Kazoo builds their pedals into wood.
Also, I came across this Reverb shop which seems to be offering pedals in wooden enclosures:

Don't know if any of that helps.

Wood.

If i ever bought a pedal in a wooden enclosure I'd send it to you to get rehoused.

You should just buy the 1/8" sheets and make them yourself. You can design the dovetail and cut it with your laser

Hmmmmmm...just had a thought. I could repurpose wooden boxes from years before like this.

I bet I could find a boat load of shit at the local flee markets and garage sales. This kind of stuff would work great for modular especially. For pedals, I'm going to try and get my buddy to do it. He's not answering me right now, but that's ok. I know where he lives. LOL
Also, what Jack is saying is an option. I've just never done wood work. So I'd have to experiment for a bit.

Wood is the new metal, IMO.

Wood is the Nu Metal...sorry....couldn't help myself.
Here's a few pictures of three pieces I did to test this stuff out. The bodybuilding picture I screwed up adjusting it before I engraved, but it's still pretty cool. It's fun to watch the laser burn the wood too. It smells just like a camp fire. LOL.

Yea, there's a couple out there doing it.
I got a Sound Saw clone that came in a wooden box.
Not sure how well it'd hold up to getting thrown around in the world though.

I like how you could burn anything in the world, and you chose pictures of yourself
