looks cool.
Still not really affordable for me, but less expensive than i thought.
i might give it a try when i'm not broke.
But seriously that's amazing.

I'd imagine it would be even cheaper if you bought your own wood locally. Getting a company in europe to make something out of american wood is always going to be expensive. Over a thousand euro for a piece of wood 35cmx18cm? That would be ridiculous where I live. Even for some fairly exotic hardwoods.
i'm still waiting for those stand alone personal prototyping/print machines to be realeased cheap..
Or if they're photographs, they sure tried very hard to make them look like renders. hard to tell in those tiny pictures, ofcourse
