Maybe a jig saw to cut a design into the wood? http://www.rockler.com/how-to/build-trivet-simple-trammel-jig/ ; Good luck!
If you want a lacy look you could use a craft type jig saw. If you want a shaped one a simple jigsaw and sand paper will be the two most important tools.
Basic woodworking tools and wood glue. Design your pattern, choose your materials and have fun!
