Take a walk in te desert and find some nice looking sticks, some large and 
some small.  Build a jig with the holes at the desired spacing.  Cut or 
sand the sticks to get the desired flat spot, use the jig to drill holes 
and countersink the hole.  Using a couple of smaller shorter sticks, drill 
a hole lengthways.  Now you have the parts, set a short screw to hold the 
short pieces to the long.  Glue the rocks as desired and you are set.
