The OwlProject’s “iLog” is a wooden iPod-like MP3 player that is sure to give you a musical “splinter”. From the description: “At just over 3 inches thick, the iLog fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and slips easily into your pocket — and your life. The super-slim iLog defines what electronic music should be. Now you can sync with Log1k, Mac and Windows at blazing speeds. Without lifting that trusty thumb of yours from the switch, you can easily perform improvised sets, scroll through sounds, and start the music playing.” This is a companion to their “Log1K” project which is essentially a computer built into a tree-trunk! Nice – now all they need is a “Tree” House Music compilation to go with it…

Also – this reminds me a lot of the WoodPod project – which recreates the iPod with a varnished wooden shell.
