This is the latest in a series of keen, green-leaning Apple accessories, like the iPhone stands made of wood or the steampunk-esque iPod case.

Josh Darrah, an Australian graphic designer, crafted this iPod Mini case entirely in wood — with a nifty matching charger dock.

Darrah told Stuff he spent about four weekends to craft the case out of just $12 USD in materials — Australian red cedar for the main shell and Camphor Laurel for the click wheel and base.

He used screws instead of glue, making it a little greener (he did employ some double sided tape to secure the clickwheel).

His inspiration?

“I was given a new iPod Mini for Christmas and I just couldn’t leave my trusty old Mini to sit unused somewhere,” he commented on Flickr. “So I decided to finally try a wooden shell mod on him that I had wanted to do for a long time.”
