    Why no one wanted to pay hundreds of dollars for this NES made out of wood is beyond me. It’d go well with my wooden horse, my wooden shoes, and my wooden teeth. Hello, I’m George Washington, and I approve this message.

    Really, though. It’s a kind of sculpture — “Craftsmanship is so precise it appears to be a functional Nintendo at first glance.” Yes, although the wood-finish NES didn’t really catch on, if I remember correctly. The detail really is nice, though:

    It didn’t sell on eBay, but lots of things don’t go right away. If you’re interested, I’m sure you can contact the creator directly.
