Because it is a real wood. :smoker:

You can see more on his Instagram profile.

For real?

How does he make the top case out of wood, or is it a layer of wood veneer on top of the metal case?

I thought it was a woodgrain paintjob, not real wood?

Don't know what he uses or how he makes it, but I do remember that once I was reading some of his posts and he was saying that it's made of a thin wood. Maybe he meant a wood veneer? Who knows. But certainly it's not on top of the case, as it can be seen in many pictures on his Instagram profile. No case under it, just plain wood (veneer). Some examples: 1, 2, 3, 4.

Found this post on his web page. Translated via Google Translate (as original post is in Japanese).

Yeah, some of those close ups look like it could be thin wood panels.

Very impressive/crazy shit if it is!

Have to wonder how sturdy/durable it would be though, if thin wood panel only, and not a thin veneer over the real metal casing, or wood coloured/textured paint as I was originally convinced it was.

I suppose that all the bits you bang on are mounted to the chassis though, not the face plate, so the strength of it may not matter that much.

I thought his wood MPC60 side panels were awesome, exactly what I wanted and the way they should be, but if this is for real, it is some next level shit!!!

Wonder how big the $ would be on that?
