Guitar Pick With Character

This is a Christmas present I made for my brother who just started playing guitar and who likes the joker

I apologise for the pictures, I didn't take some while I was working so I took them afterward

Find Materials

Find your piece of wood or other material and a spare guitar pick for size

I used a piece of manzanita I had on hand

Trace Outline

Using a pencil trace the outline of the pick on the wood

use a saw to cut the basic profile, and then using a sander sand to the lines

Thin Out Pick

using the sander thin out the pick, round off the edges, then hand sand gradually increasing grits

decide what you want to add to guitar pick, then use a woodburner to burn it in.

Something I learned afterwards, for a left handed person burn it the way I did. for a right handed person flip it

Add Finish

use an oil to add finish to your wood. Not only will it protect it but it brings out the grain really nice

Finished
