Project Information

This is a guitar stand made from mesquite. I had only two flat pieces of natural edge wood so I left a bit of sap wood on the ends for some character in the piece. Most of the guys in the park are as old as me so I had enough wood left to add a handle so they would not have to bend as far to move it. I would have liked the top of the handle to be a little longer but that is all that was left and it has a fair amount of sap wood in it.

The pieces of the stand are doweled and glued together and the handle is doweled and screwed on.

It is finished with boiled linseed oil and clear satin lacquer.

Cheers, Jim

Love it!

See a 5 string back there. Been trying for years to learn Scruggs' style. Guess I'm just not coordinated enough.

Looks like it's easy to use and transport.

What kind of a guitar is the darker one?

Thanks for all the nice comments. I had the templates for this stand as I made some before but I thought the handle would be an advantage for this old guy that ordered it.

Hi Dave, the handle is there so you don't have to bend down to the floor to move it. Actually, you could move it with the guitar on it with the handle.

Hi Lew and James. I know nothing about guitars..I just like to listen to them on Thursday nigh( band night). I took these photos in the music practice room. There are instruments all over in there and I know not one of them..nor can I play one. But I make a stand for any one of them.

Cheers, Jim
