Wooden Guitar Picks With Hand-Shaped Thumb Grip
Wooden Guitar Picks with Thumb Grip. Perfect for the Passionate Music Enthusiast or Artist. Only a select few are made at a time, hand crafted from select woods, pouring heart and soul into each one. Custom hand shaped thumb grip provides the perfect fit and pick angle. ♪♪ Be inspired and play something beautiful! ♪♫ I created this design over thirty years ago and have supplied my custom picks to music artists and enthusiasts alike. These started as a question or challenge many years ago by an old friend visiting my shop. While I was busy at work on another project, he asked "can you make a guitar pick?" Sure I thought but why just make a flat pick? Instead, I hand crafted each with a perfect fit thumb grip, set at just the right attack angle. Want to go to the next level? For the artist, elite or extreme enthusiast, I've taken these to the next step treating some with inlay artwork mere thousandths of an inch deep, creating a truly one of a kind work of art. While wooden picks will not and are not intended to stand up to the standards of harsh play such as with plastic picks, they are usable and create a rich, unique and warm tone. Send me a message if you have interest in the next level such as inlay artwork, or laser engraving. Otherwise select your mix and match set below. "Dylan was so surprised when I gave him his guitars picks. He was literally speechless. He was completely amazed and touched at how much love went into thinking about his gift and the precious time that went into carving such beautiful work! I had to convince him it was okay to actually use them, he was so concerned about messing them up! He then spent the next half hour just playing different songs and enjoying his new favorite pick." - Lisa **** Picks will be Right-Handed unless otherwise specified. ****

"Let me build you a dream"
Fine woodworker for over 30 years.
Influenced early in life by the craftsmanship and resourcefulness of my Father, my Grandfather and a close neighbor-master-craftsman and access to many tools, it didn’t take long to be bitten by the woodworking bug. I’ve enjoyed challenges in many different aspects of woodworking including creative inlay, abrasive sculpturing, and woodturning, items big and small, working with woods literally from all parts of the world.
Have you ever found or experienced something/anything in life that just makes you say "that's so me!"? That is what wood does for me. I see a chunk of wood; I see what it can be. Others may see firewood. I see the intricate beauty, color, grain, smell, it's life story. I see it's endless possibilities and what it can be!
Hand in hand, I also love to re-use and re-purpose items into new life. Make use of instead of disposing of!!! Something doubly special happens when you take something with a story or history, save it from the landfill or dump, and re-purpose it. You honor the history, you honor who originally designed it, created it, what it was made for, and give it a whole new story with new life and purpose that adds to all that priceless history.
Some of the “strangest” items I’ve been asked to make include wooden guitar picks, some with inlaid designs. I’ve enjoyed the creativity and challenges found in the functional art form of high-end wooden pen turning; the complexity in custom segmented wooden pens of unlimited uniqueness. Some of my work has even been published in Pen World International. Other Entrepreneurial interests landed me a deal making marionettes for Knott’s Berry Farm toy store as early as middle school. One theme rings clear in all the varied challenges I’ve tackled – If you can dream it, I can make it!
Always open to chat if you have ideas, thoughts, questions etc. I'm personally very guilty of creating something "just because I can", so don't worry if you think your idea may not make the best of sense!

For Wooden Guitar Picks5.0This was my first experience working with an artisan on Custom Made and it was Fabulous!
Randy got in touch very quickly after I sent an inquiry for a custom guitar pick as a holiday gift. Through great communication we narrowed down a selection of picks to choose from. It was a difficult selection process for me on account that I loved them all! The ones I felt would best suit my friend, the recipient, were sent off toot sweet and just arrived! THEY ARE GORGEOUS, truly unique, finely crafted, feel great in the hand and even smell good! I am anxiously awaiting my friend's reaction, for I think he is going to love them!
A very smooth, experience with a wonderful product now in hand!
