I could even see a fashion trend starting with OpenMoko :) Actually I did some simple works with a wood router but all I need were straight lines with different cutting patterns. I didn't use a guide template which probably would be needed in this case. Personally, I would still prefer to pay some artisan to do it for me, cost dependent. Two questions that occur to me: Which types of wood would be more suitable? Light but resistant to impact. How much time would be needed to do a case, from cutting, maybe gluing, polishing, varnishing as a routine task? Or, what would be the cost then? Regards, Fernando
