I haven't posted a project for awhile and this one is not all that much but, maybe it will get you enthused a bit.
It's a Christmas gift for my son (I dont think he will se it on this forum so don't tell!)
It is mostly a scrollsaw type deal but, Goodoldwhatshername thinks it's cute. It is cherry wood with walnut trim and several coats of wipe-on polly.
Oh yea, forgot to mention that Jay plays in a band and at church and the whole family is getting into music in one form or another.
Getting the clock and strings in at the same time was a bit 'fiddley'. The frets are steel wire and the strings are safety wire (Thanks to Uncle Sam from back in the '60s
) Oh yea, it is 18" tall/long or whatever.
Hope it inspires you to get started on Xmas gifts and to "Think Outside The Lines"
