Anyone have a recommendation for a flute stand that fits wooden flutes? I picked one up from a music store a while back only to discover that it was a bit too big. (Works nicely with low whistles, though).
I use a home-brew stand that works great. Drill a 1/4" hole through the middle of two pieces of 3/4" PVC pipe (each piece about a foot long) and put a 1/4" dowel through the holes. I hold it together with rubber bands. Works great and is compact for transport.

I use a standard flute stand, but with the post turned down on a lathe so that it fits into a wooden, conical bore flute.
I use a piccolo peg on my Hercules 3 pronged flute/clarinet/piccolo stand. For just a flute, a single piccolo stand works great. Here’s an example:
YMMV. I wouldn’t use a piccolo stand for a flute because, IMO, the post is too thin and could put too much pressure on the bore, either by digging into it, or by bending what seems to me to be maybe the weakest part of the flute - the thin end. Standard piccolo stands work fine for conical bore piccolos, however. 
I just saw Steph Geremia using one for her show. She has a lovely Grinter. I think the pressure on the flute is minimal. I wouldn’t recommend keeping the flute on the stand all the time, but for shows/gigs/sessions/practicing, I see very little chance of ill effects.
I know - probably paranoia on my part, but I’ll stick to my turned down flute stand - much thinner than the non-turned down, standard flute stand, but much much thicker than a piccolo stand and supports the flute beautifully.
BTW, I never take a stand to sessions at all. Sadly, the sessions I end up in are crowded enough that it would be riskier having the flute on a stand than lying flat on the table. Again, IMO.
Tragic. Always much safer to lie down on the table at a crowded session… 
Stands are OK for at home and for gigs…
Regardless the fact that in sessions laying the flute down is by far the safest option, this looks ver interesten.
If by interesting you mean that those antler thingies could put someone’s eye out.
Which is why you should always wear Flute Goggles at a session. Safety first!
I wonder how you would position a stand in such a fashion that it would poke an eye out. Ik thought you’d put it on a table or a shelve or something like that. Maybe you just move ferociously while playing.
But seriously… the problem in can see is that the moist stays in the flute insteat of dripping away. Or am i mistaken.
Apart from the antler theme, which is not really my cup of tea, the concept appeals to me.
Buy one of those wooden plaque things that people paint “Bless This Mess” and house numbers on (available at any big box hardware or crafty store), drill some 1/4" holes, insert 1/4" dowels cut to about 6" long, stain it, varnish it, and Bobsyer.
If you’re going for a fairly small footprint you may want to glue two plaques together to make it heavier.
If you want to get fancy and mobile you can cut the plaque in half or take two plaques, attach some small locking piano hinges at the join, route out a depression for dowel storage, add a latch opposite the hinged side, and then it’s portable. Mine folds to about the size of an iPad and it’s grand.
But where do you set your beer goggles?
Yes, of course! Because it distracts everyone from my lousy playing! 
I don’t know about your neighborhood … But in mine, sessions are often held around dark tables in dark corners of dark pubs. And those tables are covered in food and drinks, and set lists and phones, and instruments, and capos and picks and bows and other accessories. And surrounded by well-watered musicians fumbling for any or all of the above in the dark, especially if your old eyes (like mine) are no longer what they used to be. And if you bend down to the table to look for something …
As Jon Snow said to Arya:
And if someone showed up at my session with one of those stands, I’d politely ban it.
Of course, the OP wasn’t asking about sessions. For home display, those stands might be just fine. And for a session table, you can’t beat a soft, plushy cloth to rest your instrument on. Or ask Ben to hold it, since he’s already lying on the table anyway.
I made my own instrument stand from a piece of Lauan, 12 x 26". To the short end, I glued a block, 1-1/4" square x 12 long. I made pegs that fit the tailbore of 5 instruments I like to play. In use, I like to put the front legs of my chair on top of the long side of the lauan, with the block about 4" away from the side of the chair. The flutes stick up beside my right leg. It’s convenient, stable, safe, easy to make and easy to pack.
Lauan is usually pronounced Luan.
I use the Hercules stand with piccolo pegs, then put a piece of latex tubing over each to fatten and slightly extend them, and to keep the bore from getting gouged. Always lay them down at sessions.
The sessions I attend usually don’t have a convenient table, or the table is already crowded (as mentioned above).
I’ve thought about trying to rig a flute holder to the small Hercules stand I bring for my mandolin… maybe a length of PVC tube with a plug at the end, clamped to the stand. But the thought of it tipping over and taking both instruments with it scares me.
So I’ve just been laying the flute down on the opened case on the floor, and sliding it under my chair when I switch to mandolin, or take a break to the bar or loo. Luckily I always have a companion nearby who can keep an eye on things, and I watch her fiddle when she takes a break. Having a dependable “spotter” like that at a session can help, so you’re not just leaving your instrument to cruel fate when you leave your chair.
