The material used for the drive is Basswood. If you're not familiar with basswood, it's a softish craft wood, but still durable.The other parts are a mix of using a laser cutter and my handiwork to carve out the design and put it all together.It's held together with a type of wood glue, so there aren't any unsightly screws.Hope that covers it!If you want to know more just let me know
