Call of the Wild
The epitome of modern electronic design is now paired up with the timeless, organic minimalism of nature. These docks for iPhone and iPod are handcrafted from natural driftwood, polished to a velvety smoothness by sand and surf before washing up on the stony shores of Maine. That's where Lee Goodwin and his team gather them, select each one for size and shape, and craft them to fit the contours and cord of your device. The juxtaposition of organic and artificial, contemporary and timeless transforms your personal electronics into a piece of functional art. Handmade in Maine.
- Item ID: 23447
- Materials: plastic, electrical components, pine wood, oak wood, cedar wood, ash wood, maple wood
- Approx. 8-9" L
- Because driftwood used to create the docks is sourced directly from the coast of Maine, no two docks will be the same. Variation is to be expected.
iPhone 4 dock is equipped with original 30 pin connector which makes it compatible with iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS, 3G and iPod classic / iPod Touch 2nd- 4th Gen. iPhone 5 dock is equipped with lightning connector for iPhone 5 and 5th generation iPod.
Lee Goodwin
Together with a colorful team of boat builders, photographers, and potters, woodworker Lee Goodwin transforms natural driftwood into functional art pieces. "The driftwood has been sculpted by wind, sand, and sea, which gives each piece such character. We love giving the iPhone an element of earth. Our docks let people hold something real, something that has tactile and quantifiable existence. The tide brings the driftwood in, and we send it back out—there is something symbolic about that."

Although i have seen this item somewhere else, this one looks more rustic and slightly different. also, i would buy this dock from uncommon goods because you have much better prices!

I have already seen wood docking stations on plenty of other sites. The only upside to this one is that it looks like it is straight from the chopping block. Maybe good for a cabin to keep the "natural" look of things.

Unique and clever gift for the right person. Driftwood decor would not fit into my home and would, therefore, not appeal to me. But could see relevance overall. Love the concept.
