Any thoughts on patenting and/or making more of these?

A super classy piece of functional artwork is what you've got there.

If I had to price this thing out for my time, they'd be 400 bucks apiece, Crystal. I'm not sure the market is there.

There's one major flaw, too. I can't plug in headphones. I could with two minutes of dremel work, but I don't want to do it.
I don't have any desire to use earbuds with it, and I still don't. I'm sure others would. My daughter wanted to once and I told her I'd fix it, but she told me to leave it be.

Just a thought. I've seen people pay more for less. Either way, it's a truly beautiful piece of art and ingenuity.

That's a good girl you've got there. Don't mess with Dad's toys.

If I'd make them out of pink plastic and bling them out with sparklies and a kitty, I bet I could move a million to teenage girls.

My baby girl uses all my stuff. She's a good kid. I taught her real early, and she takes care of everything even better than I do.
I'm on the fence about getting her an ipad, cause I think she could use an iphone more. Her birthday isn't till September, so we'll see.
I don't think she'd make much use out of an ipad, and she carries her phone and her ipod touch everywhere she goes.
Whatta ya think, darlin?

Unless she's got some special need (document storage and display, art tools) that makes the iPad a better fit, I'd go iPhone.

I think you're absolutely right, Crystal. Thank You!!!

Very Nice - that Walnut should be very durable for wood and the finish looks great.
