  A beautiful piece of wood with a plumbing pipes?

 
 
It's actually quite common with decor. The plumbing pipe look gives it an "industrial" feel. People are Even doing it with dining tables!!


 
 
  I deal with plumbing pipes day in day out i guess i'am just tired looking at them.

Yeah I used to be a plumber for the union I understand. Nowadays a lot of furniture has this and gives a modern industrial twist like jb said.

Yet another obligatory pipe stand post... put this together with my boys... no plans; just let it flow and that's what came out.
 
Honestly not as easy as it looks. Once you thread through, there is no going back or you lose friction so you have to sort of think a few steps ahead.

You could make it even more robust if you coated it with paper/PVA and let it harden. Then mix water based paint with PVA and coat it again. That would give it a really tough shell, make it sturdy too. Just a suggestion. :)

I considered doing something like that or paper mache or something. I need to make another one for headphones at my work desk, I might try something like that out for that one. I also thought of cutting up a cheap yoga mat from decathlon (they're like 2 euros) and putting that along the outside so the headphones are sitting on something nice and soft.
 
I made a quick instructable that has the pdf templates I used for it too if anyone is interested: http://www.instructables.com/id/Stacked-Cardboard-Headphone-Stand/

Some simple stands I made out of scrap lumber and plumbing parts.  Simple and cheap but functional.  The foam pipe insulation is ideal for cradling the headband without leaving and indentation as the foam is generally softer than the headphone padding.

Dimensions: 5" x 7" x 13" high

Dimensions: 5 1/2" x 6" x 16" high.
 
The copper tubing stand was painted with hammered bronze.  I am thinking of making up a bunch of the oak stands for friends.  May add a hanger on back for the cable.  I can get oak and parts for under $5.00 each.
