Audiowood

Audiowood was born of necessity: the world could no longer survive without the burlwood turntable. What seems obvious now was not as apparent in 2008 when Audiowood was founded in the hard streets of Oakland, California. In fact, it took extensive studies of art, design, and architecture, a PhD, and over a decade of renovation carpentry for Joel Scilley to realize what the world truly lacked!

Not content with this world-changing development, Audiowood forged ahead with the wooden iPhone Nest, made a highly strategic move to rural Florida, and is now producing a wide range of sustainably-sourced, domestically-produced gadgets, gizmos, and nicknacks. The emphasis is always on perfect function and funky form!

Audiowood is an authorized retailer for great, value-oriented gear from Audioengine, Cable Research Labs, Edensound, Rega, and Origin Live and Teres accessories.

Custom turntables and other goods can be had by contacting us and describing what you want, but you can order many things right now at our new Bigcartel online store, or at Etsy, or Broodr. Audiowood turntables are typically priced between $750 and $3500, depending upon parts quality and design.

Select Audiowood gear is also available from our great retailers: Anthropologie, Mayme Baker Studio (Greenville, SC), Audio Zeal (Austin, TX), Anchor Boutique (St. Augustine, FL), Gadsden Arts Center (Quincy, Florida).
