Had some time today and threw together a stand. Simple, but not too simple is what I was aiming for.
Pegs or screws with wood caps? I like it! Stylish and simple, with character!

Here's another one I made today. Can be used for one headphone or two. Going back to the more simplistic variety for now.

Hi Eric, I really like the finish you achieved on the wood, looks rustic and charming. I'm tossing some ideas around and got a basic design for a desk-clamping headphone "stand". After seeing your creations, which are all very beautiful I must say, I was wondering how to achieve this kind of finish. If you don't mind telling me, which kind of wood is this and how do you weather it (if you do)? thanks and keep on creating
On that particular one I use pine and merely sand it down very fine and then apply a stain by Miniwax called "Dark Walnut". I then sometimes coat the completed unit in mineral spirits or polyeurethane depending on the variety of wood. Nothing too spectacular goes into the process.
Here is a variation on a stand that I made much earlier and sold to a member here. I'm just trying to play with curves here to see if they are in any way preferable to the more commonly used rectangular form.
4 can stand. Wooden magazine holder filled with river rocks and a wooden curtain rod with padding. Super easy.
