So, I had a long piece of wild cherry gall out in my crates. I took the pruning saw to it (which is probably the majority of the work) and cut this piece. Then I ground it and then sanded it.I decided to go with off-center placement of the clock hands.It sits really nicely against the wall and has a floating effect to it.My guess? This thing is going to do some warping… but maybe that will add to its charm.It's a really beautiful piece of wood! If you look at the dark part of the grain, it almost looks like a duck-billed platypus diving down toward the bottom of a lake.(And, yeah, these things come together even faster than the skinny clocks!)

Hello everyone. Hope you are all doing well.My latest project was this adjustable cell phone stand.I've made stands like this one before as Christmas gift in 2019. Those were made out of some pallet wood. This one was made from quarter sawn white oak that was probably 35-40 years old.I can't take credit for the design. I saw it on Pinterest and thought it would be fun to make.As usual there is a video of the build if you care to watch.Thank for looking. Take care.
