I had no plans on making this an interest check and selling
cases like this, but recent events have made me say screw
it. Before that, I had several people asking me via PM about
the cases and on reddit, but I planned on only doing cases
if people asked me about them. Now I figure I might as well
gauge some interest for a wood case for the GH60, Pure, and
Poker.
To giver you a very rough idea about a case, I
made a wood case in the past that looked like this:

Finished pic
More recently, I have been working on a slightly
easier to implement prototype design. This sprang out of an
idea I had for a case for someone who commissioned me to
make a case for them; however, if others are interested, I
may make several others.
The rough design is as
follows:
That’s a rough and unfinished picture and made out of
Red Gum and Purpleheart. Your options for wood would be much
greater and, like the other case, I would make a USB cutout,
install the standoffs, make a foot or feet in your choice of
styles, be it discs, a rounded bar, or some other geometric
bar, and finish it in Arm-R-Seal, Deft Danish Oil, or
both.
The base price for a case would be around
$140-150 and I should be able to drop the price a little if
10 or more people are interested since I would have less
setup time on some of the steps. The cost would increase
depending on the type of wood you want used and if the wood
is natural or dyed. For cheaper woods like poplar, maple,
and birch, it would be on the cheaper end of the spectrum,
for woods like ebony, zebrawood, pau amarello, padauk, and
so on, it would be more expensive since exotics can cost up
to $100 for enough wood for a case. Dying would be best for
Maple and Birch and, unless you wanted a two toned dye job
like my red and black wrist wrest, it would be a $10 or less
option, less if multiple people wanted the same color dye. I
can also do a matched wrist wrest with an inlay
like this
or make the case into a “travel case” by making an identical
top piece and including a hinge and/or clasps.
You can
find a small handful of the woods available to me
here for domestic
and
here for exotic woods.
If you’re interested, drop a comment in here. If
there’s no real interest, then I’ll just make the one case I
was commissioned to make and one for myself.
Edit:
Added
an official
Interest Check Form
I also forgot to add, if there are at least 7 people
who want a case, I can offer free laser engraving.
