Most of the bathtubs I see are made of fiberglass or some form of acrylic. They all look pretty normal except for the occasional steel or metal bathtub which only some of my friends have. But nobody I know has wooden bathtub like these shown here from Unique Wood Designs.
The 4 shown here are part of the rectangular wooden bathtub series, but UWD also makes oval-shaped wooden ones as well if you aren’t a fan of the sharp corners.
If you have to ask about the price, you probably can’t afford it. Looks nice though, eh?

A company based in Portland, Oregon is manufacturing these wooden sunglasses frames made from maple, zebrawood, or wenge wood. Each pair comes with Carl Zeiss polarized lenses in either grey or brown. I would love to see one in person and feel how much they weigh, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen any time soon.
How much is it to wear rare woods on your face? Oh, about $95.

Axes are probably the last thing I would think of to be turned into a designer collectible, but I guess somebody at Best Made Company thought it would be a good idea to turn the ordinary wood-chopping instrument into something a bit more aesthetically pleasing. Seriously, if I owned one of these, I would not be using it in the backyard. [via]

This here is the wooden handiwork of artist Lee Stoetzel who recently exhibited at Mixed Green Gallery in Chelsea (NYC) back in April and May (2009).
If you like this work, you can purchase it for $1500.

Designer Arndt Menke has created an actual prototype of a wood-framed bicycle. The whole bike weighs roughly 2.3kg and is said to be very strong. That back seat stay looks pretty neat (see close-up details below), but I really wonder if this is nearly as strong as steel or aluminum frames.
In any case, it makes for a wonderful looking bike. I want one.
