Personalized Guitar Hooks/Hangers/Holders

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:

Name engraved into BB ply

Dove:

PG walnut veneer over BB ply

and Pirate:

Full coverage engrave into BB ply

I modified @Aloha fish hooks into clefs, but maintained the angle of the piece that slots into the backing so I didn’t haver 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

No bananas - but the backs are 5.4' and the clefs 4.8' tall

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.

If/when she sends me pictures of them hanging I’ll add those here

February 2022 update - turns out one of my sister’s guitars has a wider neck than the others - about 2' to the other’s 1.5', so here’s a version with a wider neck set, all the other pieces are the same.
