Start with a quarter-sawn walnut blank for stability. Rout the phone slot and pen recesses in several shallow passes, then drill relief holes before cutting the rear cable channel. A small tray can ride in simple wooden grooves, with a stop preventing accidental removal. Soften every hand-contact edge and sand to 220 grit. Apply a thin oil-wax finish, wiping all excess to avoid a sticky surface.
