A while back there was a thread on them, so for fun i tossed one together out of some poplar wood i had laying around. i never got around to putting a lining in it, so sound just echoed around inside of it. It is an interesting experience. In the summer it is especially nice to use instead of a hood, since it lets some air circulate, and reduces sweating. In your query of is is just a block of wood, i think is it far more. it blocks all vision, and sound echoes if you dont put a lining in it. which is the way i prefer it, but would also block all sound if a foam liner was put in it. There can be easy to make, i think i might have spent 15 bucks for the hardware. and 5 bucks for the wood. i used a 10 inch piano hinge on the back and 2 clasps on the front. here is the one i made http://www.slavechris.com/Files/headbox/headbox.html
