Core77

I love this. My office has about 40 tribal masks on the wall. Any linkage on BUYING one?

things like this are the reason why I visit Core77 daily.

Thanks :)

Ask the guys at Thinkgeek, I'm sure they could appreciate the geekfull goodness combined with the fact that you're helping to support these craftsmen. Also, I'll bet you could sell quite a few through the MAKE magazine online store as well, most of their subscribers really appreciate this type of thing. If the prices are reasonable, I know for a fact I'll buy one right now.

Wonderful.�

is there some way to put together a syndicate to buy and resell these? Craft fairs and farmers markets would be a great place for these.�

These artisans should be rewarded.�

I wonder how much does it cost.

Ha, that is awesome. Makes me wish I could find an external HDD case like that.

Anyone know where I can order these?

Wow, finally we have some pocket USB drives for hippies! Seriously though, that is a great way to help synergize old world artisans and 21st century doo-dads. Great post!!!

neat. how can we contact them for ordering? any links available?

If they were to make replacement phone facias, those would sell incredibly well to the right markets.

this is great, finally a way of aligning technology with '3rd' world countries. I'd happily buy one of these over a normal USB stick but let's just hope that the guys carving these things are being paid a decent amount for them.
everyone should buy one!

Is the wood treated in any way? If we could buy them would they get through customs? Very very cool design though, I like it alot!

How do we get one? What's their URL (if they have one)?

I'm not looking for a large order, but would be willing to pool with other people. If you knew how we could go about buying them.

How cool :)

I would be interested in distrobution/sales in the United States. Please drop me contact info if you could. Thanks in advance.

Ok all well and good but where the hell can we buy them????

I'm interested in knowing how to order.

Yea, where do I get one? We are consumers and we wants it!

Pretty slick, thanks for that

A link to purchase these would probably help them out a bit =)

Where would one PURCHASE one of these? Several Google search combinations have not yielded the answer. Any human beings know?

Yeah, where can I buy one of these beautiful things?

Excellent idea, it's a win-win situation with beautiful art involved, can't get any better than that =) Plus, the people there might be able to learn about the existing technology, which is also a really good bonus.

Please include details on how to order these.

how do we get in touch to place the big order?

I would definitely buy some of theses, this is an excellent blend of tech and humanity. It would be great to hold a hand-carved piece of wood several times a day in our sterile plastic environments, if only to remind us that there is an outside.

Great idea! Where can i get one of those?

Coolness!!! There are also very skilled woodworkers in Eastern Africa as well (Kenya, Tanzania, etc.). Perhaps I can have some of my wife's family in Kenya round up some local craftsmen for a similar project (the idea being providing jobs and income for some of the poverty-stricken locals).

-he who stacks pork

Can you smoke out of it?

why not;
what minimum order numbers are you seeking?
are the designs random?
what is shipping going to cost from Sao Tome e Principe to the US?
are you looking for small, medium, or large businesses to grab this and run?

My email box is waiting!

I REALLY hope that an honourable/fair amount goes BACK to the wages for the craftsmen who made these.

Great job! They should receive a Design award for this.

that's incredible. i'd love to have a few of those.

If you are looking for large orders, check out this store. It specializes in Fairly Traded Handicrafts from Around the World

ok so when do we expect exotic case mods from India!?
I am interested in the intricate handcarved soapstone elephant case with the LED system lights in the eyeballs! and USB ports (ahem back in the rear of course, where the mouse comes from, LOL!)

this product brings the humanity of hand items, culture, and modern functionality together. Synergy at its finest.

It�s really wonderful and creative. How much does it cost? Where can I buy it?

I like this product and would like more information on it, like where to purchase, how and cost. The email link you posted rendered me an error.

Thanks

They could branch out and do i-pod cases. Looks nice.

if it's wooden casemods you're looking for, you should check out Japanese casemod sites. Wood is really popular there.
I've seen some really cool mods there, including keyboards completely cut out of wood!

It has one significant drawback: heat guidance is really poor in those things.

Certainly the carved African Artwork will make these a great gift item.

wow!these are really nice? and i like that these are different

Your usb cases look very intersting. What would our landed cost be to Chicago, IL USA? Thanks.

This is really great. Are they still taking orders

There are cool wooden flash drives - USB Sticks - at www.flashsticks.co.uk - These are from Europe though but are still hand made. Would like to try one.

Have you seen the wooden USB sticks at http://www.flashsticks.co.uk ?

They are like the ones shown here but made from natural sticks and available for purchase.

Price, around $15 - $20. Check it out
