How to Make a Custom Wooden Guitar Pick

Make your favorite guitar player a custom wooden pick with Proxxon tools.

Supplies and Equipment for Making the Guitar Pick

Instructions for Making the Guitar Pick

  1. Cut 1/8" thick hardwood to size using the band saw.
  2. Cover the blank with painter's tape. Mist spray adhesive on the back side of the pattern and adhere to the covered blank. The painter's tape makes removing the pattern easy without leaving any sticky residue on the wood.
  3. Cut the guitar pick shape on the scroll saw.
  4. Bevel the edges of the pick on the disc sander.
  5. Sand the flat surfaces for the pick with the Delta sander, using progressively finer grits of sandpaper.
  6. Polish with a paste wax.
  7. Enjoy the music!!
