Skud Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Noticing a few woodgrain electronic devices in the stores, mainly speakers for ipods and mp3 players at the mo. But who knows what could be next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 That's not surprising, actually. I would like to see them resurface and dominate again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atariguy1021 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Especially in cars! When I was a teenager my friends and I would cruise around our small town, whenever we saw one of those station wagons with the woodgrain panels on the side we would smack the roof of the car and yell "beaverwood." Not sure who started that tradition, but I'd be happy to have the opportunity to yell beaverwood again... so bring on the woodgrain cars.

Nateo Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 God, I hope so. I LOVE woodgrain and wood paneling. My wife, on the other hand, is not so convinced... though she did say when we buy a house one of these days I can have wood paneling in the game room!

godzillajoe Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 The whole "finished" side of my basement is wood paneling. I love it. There's a bar and of course a big screen with video games. Gotta order some new home brews for our next "poker night" My living room still has the 70's style wood paneling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Love the woodgrain. My retro room in the basement is original mint wood panelling, done in the late '60s. My '72 Dart has woodgrain dash and door panels. Long live the woodgrain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 It's an aesthetic aspect today's adults (read: those w/ buying power) are familiar with from their youth, thats why we're seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowCoder Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Wood panelling in rooms and cars = awesome! I'm not so much into seeing new devices with a wood grain, as I feel it could detract from the effect of the originals, and may also look cheap.

Csonicgo Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Brushed steel is coming back, too. in fact, my dad just renovated the kitchen, and it's brushed steel/chrome look. that's FROM THE 1950s! Trends don't really die anymore, they just circulate. The "all black" trend defined the 2000's and early 2010s, it's time to put some color back!

zylon Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) The "all black" goes back further than that. "I'm a perfect stranger in a black sedan. Won't you get inside my car?" Edited December 30, 2012 by zylon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Wood paneling does seem to give a nice feel to some things. I definitely liked it when it came on the Atari 2600. Did not like the fact that it was removed on the later models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 If it was socially acceptable, I would wrap myself in wood grain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 My alarm clock (an old-style "dream machine") has a nice woodgrain wrap to it. Caught my attention at one of my recycling events and snatched it. Works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
