Really didn't need to quote all the pictures just to say two words....

But I really do like it too.

 

[Kees]

Very well done! Looks great.
But now you need bigger headphones.

 

[Bonthouse]

Absolutely, it's made for my D2000's but they are currently waiting for a recable and a woodie job, so they are completely disassembled

My dad is getting very good at making headphone stands.

These look absolutely stunning. Finished to bring out the natural figure of the maple wood, giving it a tiger maple effect.



One is of one side, and the other is the reversed side.

It's impossible to capture the complexity of the figure, since just turning them the slightest bit will reveal a whole new effect.

Beautiful stuff guys, Thanks for the Pictures.

Nice work! REALLY nice actually.

So you made them somewhere in a shop or something? I imagine you'll need some good tools to make that stand.

Somebody nearby has a custom furniture shop (meubelmakerij) nearby and I know him from way back and I got in touch with him about making this stand and he offered me to use his shop

I'll be making lots of woody things the next few months

Seriously, that is the most beautiful stand on this forum ! Can't you tell us what did he put on the wood to make it look that awesome ?

Continue your great work !

Very nice! But the reason for the Tiger Maple effect is that it is indeed Tiger Maple.

 

[Peyotero]

True. But it's also to easy to kill that tiger effect with the wrong type of finish.

hey towert7, haw many hps can each one of them hold.

It's true. My dad and I go to our local wood yard and look through all of the maple wood for some with the most interesting figure.

Still, it took him a while to learn how to make the figure pop. The first few attempts on really nice wood were very boring.

Thanks for the nice comment!

It would easily hold 2 full size ones, or 3 full size ones if you put them a little closer. Probably would hold 4 small size headphones comfortably.

You'd have to ask him. I'm actually not sure on the specifics of what he uses. I know he finishes it with a coat of oil and clear coat.
