This all started when I moved my electronics from between my speakers to the side of the room. That left me with long runs of I/C cable. I've always like the look of cable risers, and I needed the more organized look to satisfy my OCD.
I had some American Cherry left over from making some table legs. The remnants were 1-5/8"x 2-1/2". I had several feet of it. So, I thought that would make dandy cable risers.
I cut each one to 4" long, and routed the channels in the top side. Then on to sanding and finishing. I left finish out of the cable channel, uncertain as to any reaction it might have with the cable jacket.
Lastly I glued a 1/8" Sorothane pad under each one. Tah-dah. Cable risers. Natural wood matches my listening decor better than alternatives. Critiques?
