Ted, here. I guess I’m giving this guy a free promo, eh? Anyway, I tripped across his site this morning and just couldn’t let it go without sharing it. Handmade wood eyeglass frames:

I wonder, too. I suppose that laminated multi ply is strong and somewhat flexible – but what do I know. It’s the hinges that I wonder about. Appear to be wood, right? Beautiful… but… yikes. I’m not that kind to my glasses.
