This maker turned a shelf in his house into a guitar

During quarantine, amateur Belgian luthier tchicks' local lumber store was closed, so as a challenge, he made his third guitar from a shelf:

This is my third guitar build, handcrafted in Brussels, Belgium. I used wood from a shelf to make the body, not only because Brian May is my hero, but mostly because the build started in mid April 2020, as Belgium was in complete lockdown and my usual lumber store was closed. Making this guitar may look tedious (or stupid) to you, but this was my own personal therapy during this insane period.

Je dois encore vernir le manche pour des raisons purement olfactives (wenge + huile = odeur de poissonnerie, yum), et je pourrai dire que j'ai fini mon 6eme instrument a cordes. Dans 10 jours ça fera 3 ans que j'ai décidé d'apprendre tout seul a travailler le bois. Même réflexion pour les guitares, mais il y a 9 mois. Je ne sais pas où j'ai lu ça récemment mais ça fait écho : " you don't really start getting old, until you stop learning ".
