I made this from a long piece cherry offcut that I’ve had sitting around for ages. Here’s a better picture of the interesting bit:

I’m honestly not thrilled with the finish. I thought I’d sanded out all the little ‘scales’ the planer leaves, but many came back when I put the oil on.

    Thank you! It was made specifically for a Fender P bass, which is not particularly delicate. I have another one with a different design that I made for my acoustic, but that stand is more of a prototype made out of pine and not as impressive.
    I do like the idea of moving the ‘head’ forward so it cradles the neck. I only just had enough stock to make this (well, without cutting into some bigger, nicer boards) so I didn’t have a lot of room for features or experimentation.

      Ahhh, nice. Nothing quite matches woodworking for trial and error! I’ve built a couple myself and each one gets closer to perfect, but not there yet!

      Here’s what I’ve got. Nothing too special but I love my Sheraton. My guitars.
