I'm just wondering if there are any specifics to make wooden cups. I'm pretty sure I can make some nice looking ones but want to know if they have to conform to certain lengths and whatnot.

Like closed wooden cups, or something open like grados?

Probably closed ones like on the ATH ESW10.

Ohhh...those require a great deal of skill to make. You need machining tools or a really skilled hand with some woodworking tools. Grado type woodies can be done by most beginners with some special drill bits. But if you are doing closed cups I am afraid that I can not be of any help. I know a member by the name of QQQ made a really beautiful pair of woodied closed cups about a week or two ago for some Beyerdynamics. Maybe contact him and ask for some tips; he should be pretty easy to find as he is a well known member on these forums. Good luck to you!

EDIT: Here is his posting - http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/ano...colate-425943/
As you can see, he is quite skilled at making those closed wooden cups, so I sure he could help you. I know there are a few others on this forum as well; but I can't think of them off of the top of my head, so you will have to do some searching for anyone else who does that kind of thing. I sure you will find them quite helpful! Hope that helps!
