Thread: A new challenge for the scales designers....

Found this link in a magazine i read...sounded like it could be right up the alley of some people i know around here.

Urban Spectacles, providing Wood Eyeglasses, Handmade Eyewear, Wood Grain Sunglasses, One of a Kind Accessories, Unique Frames, Wood Fashion, Custom Designed Glasses

lol... you know... i may be willing to bet good money, this will be the next fashion craze.
Very interesting.

I would not mind having a pair of those but i'm certain they cary a heft price :-( i would love a pair in kingswood or bloodwood or African Blackwood or heck theres lots! and that's not even in the combos of woods

I paid $300 for my current frames, that would be a reasonable price to pay for someone to make them out of wood. The material limitations of wood are a little overwhelming for me to want to make a set though. It's brittle, so you have to beef it up, which increases the weight. Nice artwork, but hardly practical.

Certainly not as elegant, but those images reminded me of something else made of wood..

This ones probably more comfy.

And then there's always this one shown recently in the Lee Valley newsletter:




Mark

Or set your sights a little higher.

mark that has GOT to be uncomortable!

The only issue is with eyeglass frames weight is the key. Unless they are made of balsa they would probably be too heavy to be comfortable.
