Even the driver on JVC Kenwood’s wooden Bluetooth speaker is made of wood.

If you’re on the hunt for a Bluetooth speaker not made of bright plastic or filled with flashing lights, JVC Kenwood’s WDS-01 is made of oak, cedar, pine, spruce, or walnut wood — including its 60-millimeter driver cone.

Battery life is claimed to be up to eight hours, but availability is going to be a challenge. Only 100 custom-made units were released in Japan today, ranging in price from around $257 to $550.

<em>Despite the premium pricing, JVC Kenwood warns that since it’s made of solid wood warping or cracking may occur over time.</em>
<em>There is no water resistance. JVC Kenwood recommends keeping it dry and away from sunlight to preserve its appearance.</em>
