Inspired by @aloha ’s guitar holders and @joshmonop ’s guitar hangars I made my sister 3 hooks for a Yule gift - one for each of her guitars.
Wash:
Dove:
and Pirate:
I modified @Aloha fish hooks into clefs, but maintained the angle of the piece that slots into the backing so I didn’t have to make any other changes:
I then copied @joshmonop ’s guitar pick shaped backs for the support, reversing them and making them quite a bit larger for the design:
All the remaining pieces are BB ply, and everything but the PG veneer was finished with tung oil mixed with mineral spirits. I cut holes into the layers so screws would be inset, and glued everything together with wood glue. I didn’t have a weight, but it was able to hold up a 5lb bag of flour with no issue. The white foam is adhesive craft foam. It’ll likely fall off since what it’s stuck to has the oil on it…but I told my sister to glue them with superglue when that eventually happens
The silly thing I’m proudest of is the X marks the spot on the underside of Pirate’s hook - since that X is across 3 different pieces of material!
I then picked up some brass screws that blend right into the engraved wood.

Thank you so much for sharing these! They are all really great looking. I’m betting my grandson would sure like a couple of them.
