What do you mean? I have seen a few wood charging stations, here and other places, tailored to certain phones. It's tricky because your phone changes so often.
If you mean something that houses and displays your phone but uses something like the headphone jack to connect, that's a neat idea but I can't think of anything.

Pictures? Results?
I've got an article from one of the magazines that has a plan for a cell phone speaker. I'll make a copy and send it this evening, after work.

You could make a sound reflector and doubles as a charging stand.
Sort of a larger version of the Soundbender:

Got idea when I set my phone in an empty bowl, while song was on. Try it.
Just made a quick pvc speaker, from 2" pvc elbow, and wood base. Thinking of an all wood one. Maybe with charging plug.
I long for the days when Coke was a soft drink, and Black and Decker was a quality tool.

Search for "passive amplifier" and it will turn up just short of a bazillion results.

Didn't Woodsmith just do this in a very recent issue?? Mebbe 2 issues back??
I'm too lazy to look thru my collection but I'd lay $$$$ that they did.

Here’s a link to one project I’ve done.

I’ve made 3 or 4 different styles.

Made a couple of these with my CNC, but it could easily be made with “traditional” tools.
Just three pieces, bottom is just a rectangle, top is a rectangle with a slot sized for the phone.
Sandwiched in between is a piece shaped in a sort of “w” with a notch under the slot in the top to hold the phone.
I have drawings I will be happy to share if you wish.
