This is a one of a kind handcrafted wood reading stand for a cell phone or other small device (not included). It was handcrafted from natural driftwood gathered from the shores of the Potomac River at Quantico, Virginia, during a family outing.
It’s perfect for hands-free facetiming or skyping, reading, playing games and keeping your phone upright and facing you on your desk or table. It’s a beautiful piece of nature to compliment your decor. Driftwood is loved by many for its natural worn beauty, and this piece is no exception.
The driftwood has been affixed to a stately red oak base for stability. I beveled the edges and sanded the facing surface to 800 grit and then gave them a thin coat of 100% pure tung oil to make the grain pop. The polished red oak is the perfect color and finish compliment to the natural driftwood.
It was designed specifically for the Samsung Galaxy S5, but will accommodate any electronic device with a thickness within the dimensions below. I carved a horizontal slot across the body of the piece with a shallow lip in the front and angled support in the back. The slot is open on both ends to allow any size device to display in landscape or horizontal position.
The device lean-back angle is very shallow, keeping your screen almost vertical but firmly in place. The Galaxy button is fully accessible through a carved and sanded saddle in the front.
The slot and cut end were sanded to 400 grit, making them smooth to the touch while maintaining a rustic look and exposing the beautiful watermarks Mother Nature left in the wood. The exterior remains rough and untreated, just as the sand and water of the Potomac made it. Some cyanoacrylate was added to stress points to ensure the fragile driftwood stays firm.
Please note the width of the slot dictates which devices will fit, so be sure to measure the thickness of your device (or check its stats online) before ordering this beautiful stand. Don’t forget to factor in thickness added by a case if you use one.
Measurements are approximate due to unusual shape:
Slot: 13/32 of an inch (1 cm) wide by 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) high at the back
Base Width: 5 1/2 inches (13.9 cm)
Base Length: 5 5/8 inches (14.2 cm)
