Converted an old Redmi Note 9 Pro into a teardown display and sealed it in epoxy for a clean wall frame.

All major components laid out: display, motherboard, battery, camera module, speaker assembly, etc.

Labeled layout to keep it educational + aesthetic

Wood frame with embedded lighting for a premium look

Idea was to turn e-waste into something collectible/technical rather than just scrap.

Would appreciate feedback from the community—

Anything you’d improve in layout/design?

Worth doing more devices like this?

Started with a raw wood block and built this into a 5.5” square wood & epoxy ashtray. The red resin core was poured and finished to keep a clean contrast with the natural grain.

Solid wood base, multiple sanding stages, and a polished epoxy finish for durability and daily use. The idea was to keep it functional while still looking like a statement piece.
