Making Wooden Guitar Picks

wood picks 2

The DIY ethos has wormed itself so deep into the cigar box guitar movement that now people are making their own guitar picks.  First, there was the Guitar Pick Maker ($23.99 at C. B. Gitty) which allowed you to punch out traditional style picks from old credit cards.

Now, builders are taking their wood scraps and painstakingly crafting wooden plectrums in their wood shops.  Cigar Box Nation member, Paul Renato documented his entire process which includes sanding belts, thickness planers and coats of polyurethane.
