Magnetic tablet holder made of wood

Dear Sir or Madam,
I built an iPad holder/stand using your magnets and would like to present it to you:

Magnets used: rod magnet Ø 3.0 x 15.0 mm N40 nickel - holds 650 g

Material: Wood:

For initial tests, I used softwood because it is easy and quick to work with.
For later versions, I used hardwood, which is more robust and better suited for daily use.
The sealant was linseed oil.

Work steps:

1. Marking: Precise work is crucial here. Measure your tablet accurately and mark everything with a pencil.
2. Rough cutting of the wood: Proceed according to your own preferences.
3. Finishing: The workpiece can be further processed and refined with sandpaper.
4. Attaching the magnets: A drill press should be used here. Otherwise, the holes will not be straight and the magnet cannot be inserted properly. Otherwise, for wood, a drill bit the same thickness as the magnet is sufficient, and no glue is needed.
5. Finish: I used linseed oil because it was on hand ;) Varnishes are too thick and can render the workpiece unusable.
