My primary woodworking outlet is building custom electric guitars. Here are a few of the most unique I've done.
This one was built for a charity event. I built it out of a dozen Matt Holliday signature baseball bats and hand-stitched the strap to look like a baseball. I also treated the back of the neck to look like an old bat that was covered in pine tar. Matt ended up buying it at the auction for $45k
I've built a few guitars for the band Needtobreathe. This one was inspired by the cover art for the album Rivers in the Wasteland.
And this was the one I built for NTB just this year. Their song "Brother" got certified gold last year, so this one was inspired by the album art for that song.
One of the cool touches I added was a gold record made from gold mother of pearl on the back of the headstock.
