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
Profile
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
Add Character
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
your done. this is the perfect gift for someone who plays guitar
