A slice of a tree trunk is used to make the base of the music player, while the [record itself is held](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vs01-bluetooth-vertical-turntable) on a glass component that is affixed to the top portion. The creations over at Audiowood offer the musical purist a more eclectic way to play their favorite pressings. When once compares a [tree trunk slice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funeral-for-a-tree) to a record, it can be found that there are many similarities. First off, there's the cylindrical shape and second there's the line matchings; just like a record features etchings to hold music, tree trunks feature lines that dictate the age of the leafed giant. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Wooden Turntables:** Using wooden components in turntable manufacturing creates a unique and eco-friendly music player. - **Natural Aesthetics:** Incorporating slices of tree trunks in turntable design offers a visually appealing and organic look. - **Eclectic Music Experience:** Creating turntables with unconventional materials provides music enthusiasts with a distinctive and immersive listening experience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Audio Equipment Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can explore incorporating wooden components in turntable production to cater to eco-conscious consumers and differentiate their products. - **Furniture and Home Decor:** Designers and retailers can tap into the demand for unique, natural-looking audio equipment by offering turntables made with slices of tree trunks as stylish home decor pieces. - **Music Merchandise:** The music merchandise industry can capitalize on the trend of using unconventional materials in turntable design by collaborating with artists and musicians to create limited-edition wooden record players. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Omni-Position Record Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-wheel-turntable.md) - [Visceral Record Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-kinetic.md) - [Transparent Acrylic Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audiotechnica-atlpa2.md) - [Retro-Modern Turntable Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-turntable-concept.md) - [Ultra-Modern Record Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-record-players.md) - [Sleek Vertical Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniot-wheel-3.md) - [Style-Conscious Record Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upright-vinyl-record-player.md) - [Metallic Architectural Record Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rytm.md) - [Commemorative Walnut Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beosystem-7222.md)
