Well, this may be a bit of whimsy, but since a couple of people asked, here it is. As a bit of background, one of the "other" things we do is make rustic furniture. There are three of us involved and we get together a couple of times a week to work on this. We have been working on some new designs and BJ, one of us, said her husband thought we should make a chair specifically designed for sitting in while playing a guitar. As you can see below, we got a bit carried away
We make our furniture from hardwood saplings, mortised and tenoned together. Here is BJ making the shavings fly as she cuts a tenon on a piece.
Early in the game, we decided it needed a guitar neck, so here I am gluing a scrap fingerboard onto a piece of mahogany for that.
Yes, we did get a bit carried away
Christy and BJ showing off our bookmatched spruce guitar-top seat and all.
At this point, BJ decided it needed a trial run
So here is what it looked like last Friday, temporarily strung up. Still needs a couple of dot markers in the fingerboard to cover up some screws and a bit of fine tuning
Just thought I would share some of our lighter moments around here. But it is quite functional.

...I have built alot of reproduction furniture from log to finished piece and have spent alot of time with a drawknife and spokeshave on a similar shaving horse...I have even been known to use it to hold necks I was shaping
