From FB comment in group Vintage Transistor Radios
I think we like the look of wood because of some primeval instinct from our distant past. Perhaps it has something to do with the trees being protective, under which we could take shelter during rain or shine. Or perhaps those prehistoric people who survived longer were spear makers and throwers instead of rock throwers – it doesn’t take any wood working to throw a rock. Whatever it is, I just like to see and feel wood on tables, chairs, or any furniture, even radios.
Thanks.
