A China-based Etsy shop offers this unusual take on the MagSafe charging stand:
They offer a variety of designs, which mostly appear to be in Black Walnut:
Eventually you spot that the grain direction on adjacent faces makes no sense…
…or you wonder how these shapes could possibly be machined…
…until you realize these aren't what they seem. An unlucky buyer spills the beans in a review:
"Really cheap molded plastic with lots of imperfections. Doesn't feel nice when you touch it and doesn't look particularly good in normal light either, but," they allow, "the design is very appealing."
The shop's product description does state, way down at the bottom:
"Please note: While our design captures the essence and appearance of wood, the patterns may not always be made from natural wood, leading to variations in color and texture."
Caveat emptor.
