 1.
Open a new image 500 x 300,
Width; 500 (bredd) Height; 300 (höjd)
Backgroundcolour; transparent. press OK
Maybe you think the image is to big .. ..
but I like to have plenty of "room to work" and
when the image is finished .. just Crop it ...
Add a new layer, named it foot, use Preset Shape tool
 use my settings
see image and choose the shape "Telephone
Typewriter" if you dont have it, you can download it from
Jasc homepage, you find it
under "Installer for additional Jasc shape libraries [3 MB]")
Stroke: Null
 Fill: Pattern "Stained
Wood"
make it so big..
that the "receiver" almost fills the image,
make a selection around the recevier (see image)
Choose Edit copy.
Rightclick on the layer ( on the layer palette) and
choose Delete, or choose Layers - Delete from the menu ..

Edit Paste - As New Layer
2.
Choose,
Selections - All,

repeat Cutout one more time,
change Vertical and Horizontal to -15,
press OK.
 3.
It looks "dark" so, to lighten it up ..
Choose
Colours - Adjust - Gamma Correction ..
you can see my settings below, but if you have you used
another pattern you maybe need to change the settings, or
oyou are pleased with the "dark" wood ..
 4.
Add a new layer,
name it "holder"
Use the Selections tool 
make a square selection, 100 x 100

Create a new layer ..
Use the Preset Shape tool, with the same settings ..
but change the "telephone" and make a rectangle
on top of the sphere..
Hold CTRL and move the upper corner outwards ..
 Choose, Layers - Convert to
Raster Layers
Select and repeat
Cutout and Gamma Correction with the same settings..
Merge the layer with the sphere and the edge,
