I assume you mean the wood knot?
 
I just like it there. Gives the piece some character

Just finished it today. You can't really see it in the picture, but I laser engraved my name on it. I thought it turned out well. Still have to put some kind of seal or finish on it though. 


What's that in the left corner?

Yeah it's cool, it looks like a leaf to me. But I don't get the holes either.

My marine ply stand:
 

 
Not much to look at, but it was somewhat of a labour of love with the varnishing. The hook on the back was originally a too-small wire cleat, so I hacked it in half a bit. The Stratocaster just happened to be there.

Thanks! It doesn't really look that good in person. The varnish is a rubbed finish look (rather than gloss), so I'm hoping that it'll become a little better with some wear on it.
And no you can't have it.

I've got my shelf stand that came with my HD 595s for now, but I've got a pair of MS-1s arriving at some point, and they'll need standing.

Found a quick 'n easy solution for folks who want their stand to take up minimal space (and have no qualms about drilling a couple of holes into the wall or desk).
 


 
I used a "BJÄRNUM" hook from Ikea, which is attached to my desk hutch. I've seen other people use stuff from the BJÄRNUM family for headphone stands as well, many of them seem to be great for that purpose. Got it in a pack of three for about $10, and it conveniently folds up if for some reason I needed an additional 3 inches of space. I suppose a more creative person could also wrap some foam or something around to make a more rounded perching surface.

Here is mine, black soft texture (kind of used in jewelry display), bottom stuffed with metal for more stability :

Ikea and other home stores are excellent for finding things to hang your cans on....
 
     
 
An Ikea towel rail that should be mounted on a wall, but can stand in its side, with pipe insulation and bits of card cut to stop the softer bands stretching too much and a banana tree from Lakeland.

I made this after I got frustrated with having no where to put my headphones. I did not really care how it turned out so it's cut really sloppy. I'm going to make a real stand once school starts up again and have access to a wood and metal shop.
 

Sorry for the low quality cellphone picture, I wasn't in the mood to break out the good camera.


umm! good camera cellphone!
