Looks like pretty nice work. Is that Maple?

The box is tiger maple, and the holder/drawer pull is cherry burl. The whole box is stained with a single coat of 50% cherry, and a single coat of 50% dark mahogany, and then three layers of waterlox. I'm quite pleased with it, as it is one of my first real woodworking adventures (other than pens and such, nothing as fancy). Glad you like them!

Very nice, Headphones have become an expensive fashion accessory recently, why not have a nice place to display them.

That's really great work.
I just built my wife a shelf out of oak that was in her Pottery Barn magazine.

Exactly what I thought. My girlfriend and I each received a pair of Solo's for christmas, so I figured I could make us matching ones. I must say I am pleased with the results.

I like the imperfections of the wood – it really makes it look like the real thing.

Do you mean the striping on the box? If you do, that is not imperfection, that is the grain. Tiger maple is aptly named for it's linear grain evident in the box. The mottling in the top piece if what a burl is. It leads to gnarly knots and such, again evident in the piece.
