    Can buy sheets of different veneers at most craft stores and make your own plywood with that. Then it's just simple cut, glue, and sand. Multiple ways to do it, even without the power tools.

    Now that’s something I need! Since I don’t have a CNC, laser cutter or 3D printer your first method is what I’ll use. I’m thinking of using maple for the center piece of the veneer or perhaps use some scraps of the curly maple I gave for the outside and contrasting it by using walnut for the center piece. Maybe, since I have two businesses I’ll use both ideas.

    3 spring ideas: First: A bit of actual spring steel from an old wind-up egg timer or alarm clock. B: A sliver of bamboo, either cut from the actual curve of the tube-shape of the wood and sanded thin, or for long-grain, a thin sliver that you steam-bend (hey, thicker bamboo holds a steam-bent shape in a backscratcher, so should work for a sliver). Three: A bit of clear plastic, cut from the curve of a bottle of hand soap, clear-plastic canister of Twizzlers, bubble-card plastic, etc.

    Could sand/grind down the aluminum strap to make it more flexible. I like the look of the hose clamp though. Rugged like someone else said. Would just need to keep a sacrificial card in the back because im sure it would get chewed up over time. Or maybe put a piece of packing tape over it. Great job on all 4 methods!

    Many, many years ago, when every thing was made out of wood (think wooden wheels and wooden teeth), they actually made springs (for pressure like this, not coil springs) out of thin pieces of wood. That way you can continue the wood theme.

    I made this project with modifications for strips of double sided tape I use frequently at work. The really big hose clamps have large sections of metal without the holes if you are concerned about the aesthetic. So it looks clean like the aluminum but more springy than the aluminum.

    For the spring clip I was thinking a thin piece of metal, (like your second choice), with a spring at the bottom between it and the back. A little more complicated because of drilling a seat for, and/or just gluing the spring to the back, but the metal would be solid and could be polished to a bright shine.

    Use spring steel... easy source is find a place that gets in metal banding straps and tosses them. Typically a tempered spring steel, more than likely free and you can adjust the temper in your oven.
