Hello Klaus, I am happy to provide an offer for your idea. I can make it out of Cyprus wood which has a light brown color and finish it with linseed oil : the pieces of wood and the base will be 1cm thick. I have attached a sketch to ensure I have all the information necessary to start realizing your idea. Looking forward to your feedback and go ahead

Klaus (19. January 2023)

The sketch is good. It can be done like this. (Automatic translation)

Brian Ng'aru (19. January 2023)

Fantastic, I believe I have all the information necessary to start.
