I Forge Iron

Giutar hanger

Hello, all.  Hope the autumn/spring finds you well.  I got a couple weekends at the forge the last couple of weeks, and besides my 4 Damascus blades, here's the other project.  The idea has been rattling around in my head for a while, finally had the motivation to try it. It's a gift for a friend who just bought her first house.  It started as a 4-5" length of 1 1/2" square bar.  Got lucky and it fit the intended guitar right out of the forge.

I love seeing stuff like this! The work is excellent and i really like the detail you did on the hands and while it would be a shame to cover them up at all i do concur with Daswulfs comment regarding the addition of felt. I made a guitar stand for my step dad last year and had to add felt afterwards to make sure his guitar would be safe on it.

Hope you didn't scorch the neck!

Sorry, couldn't resist :D

You beat me to it! Great straight lines are meant to be pulled.

Beautiful piece of work, a little felt won't hurt a thing. Maybe on the next ones make it look like gloves?

Thanks for the comments and suggestions, all.  You are too kind. 

I had so much fun dong it that I'm planning on a couple variations for my brother...

I suggested the felt to the owner, but she declined.  I wouldn't be surprised if the next time I go there, I find that she uses something, my guess is a small piece of cloth.

I understand the fun of having a concept come together so well, you can feel it as you make it. Sort of like the feeling you get when you roll a strike and know it before the ball leaves your hand.  It's a feeling to live for.
