I made a guitar out of firewood

- I made a guitar out of firewood for the guitar I will be using on my future album. The guitar is made from common firewood you can get at any store. It is made out of birch and white oak. The parts I used were ones I had lying around the shop. I take you through the process of building this guitar.
I prefer to use things that most people would throw away when I build guitars for myself. In this case firewood. I did this build in between the time I have been building a few custom guitars and doing restorations. The total time was weeks, but maybe 12 hours in labor. It was a side project. The neck was one I had lying around I had no use for. I didn't feel like building a new neck.
I did what I call an organic build. These are builds that have no plans or vision. They are completely improvised builds, and there are no mistakes. All accidents or parts that are imperfect become incorporated into the build.
It is much like a blank canvas and you just start painting until you have a finished masterpiece. It allows your creative nature to take over the build where you are not judging or trying to copy someone else. It is pure expression.
to get my luthier course you can find it here www.GelvinGuitars.com/shop it is a great course for those who want to learn how to repair and build custom guitars or basses.
I would very much like to see your organic build by posting it here on TH-cam and placing the tag #organicbuild so I will be able to find it.

Now I understand why custom guitars cost so much and rightfully so.
Nice to see you back. Hope you're OK dude X
Absolutely beautiful brother. I consider it an honor and a privilege to have been able to watch that build. Thank you for allowing me to watch that.😊
I usually go the other direction: start with a guitar and end with firewood. Nice work.
Stoked to see a new video Will! That guitar looks badass, who would think old oak firewood could look like flamed maple great job man!
Hey so cooL! Organic builds are super fun. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙂
That is so awesome that you did a build like that. Such artistic creativity! It takes a person with ultra-special talent to produce a beautiful, one-of-a-kind work of art like this! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Glad you're up and running. An acquaintance of mine also has MS and and has had major relief of all of his symptoms by slowly elimination of plant products and going full animal products. I did it for a year and had great success, and plan on returning to it soon. Great vid too.
Man! You still got it Will! Beautiful!
Nice to see a new video from you.
Good to see you back.
Just awesome....🎉
Beautiful work, can’t wait to hear about your new album. Longtime subscriber and love your content. I’ve learned so much from your videos. Best of luck in the New Year.
Wow that turned out great. A definite one of a kind
It's so relaxing watching this, like the legendary Bob Ross!😀
What a great build mate. Very enjoyable and as you say very Bob Ross as well.
Back with a stunner, what a great looker.
Tell you what, I love them organic urethane but what I love even more is Will's Easy Guitar putting out videos and making beautiful guitars.
Will, I've always enjoyed how you stick it to the big manufacturing companies who try to swear by the lies they've crafted to keep the little guy from doing what they want with an instrument. Simply phenomenal what you can do with some patience.
Solid firewood, one piece.
Love the orange rust lines ❤
Thank you, Will. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
So that guitar looks sick. I am completely going to steal the idea of using the glow in the dark powder on a build. Love the idea of having no rules. I have done 4 complete builds so far. Three 6 string electrics and a bass for my father. I do not play bass. On each one I have had to cover up some screw up, and it ended up a cool part of the design. Hopefuly I stop screwing up soon.
I loved the build you did with the mesquite fire wood that guitar was badass to watch be built
Very interesting build & great vid. Heard your MS comment. I'm 58 and played for over 50 years. Also built Martin copies for 10 years. I've had RRMS 30 years.
Oh! Man that guitar is so cool looking.
Firewould is the best toanwould.
To be 100% sure, build it with a scalopped fretboard. Less toanwould required.
That is one hot guitar!!!
That's a beautiful guitar. Wish I had the machinery and equipment to do but I'm getting too old.❤.
I just watched. And I have to say……incredible build. I want to build my own for sure!
Beautiful work Will! Absolutely stunning looking.
Yo will! Nice to have you back! Lovely build, keep it up, cheers
I miss all your old vids. Asmr. This was relaxing
Oak wood..
Brian May also used oak wood in his original Red Special.
May is a eugenics by pointy thing in arm enemy
@@benwinter2420 Yes, Brian is a genius.. 👍👍🇪🇸🇪🇸
Killer build Will glad to see you back doing videos and Happy New Year!!!!
Awesome
That is the most Beautiful guitar I have ever seen. Imperfections where? I’m serious if I was a wealthy man I would try to buy one exactly like that! Wow!
Wow, thank you!
Killer scratch build bro. I mean that's phenomenal dude. It looks beautiful and I'm looking forward to hearing your album man. I'm actually working on mine right now. I'm trying to push mine out by about April. I wish you the best on your endeavors. Great video! Thank you much
Super cool !
You have no idea how happy I was to see you posted a video, let alone it’s a full on organic guitar build! Too cool! Can’t wait to see what other videos are in the works, I’ve learned so much from you and I’m getting ready to work through my first full build myself
Rock on!
Excellent! This guy is pure gold !!!
Very cool 👍
good to have you back Will. good stuff
Nice to see you back, and kicking, cool
Guys a legend
I work in the marine industry and if I could conceptualize a guitar that represents it, this would be it! Unbelievable work can’t believe it’s firewood. Glad you’re back. Hope you’re feeling well. Great content as always.
Wow, thank you!
Happy to see you back again love your videos and your work. Stay healthy as possible.
I got his Luthiery course many years ago. LOVED IT!! If you have a vision, his course will help you create it :)
Happy New Year!
May you release your album successfully
Nice ax!!
Weekend Wood. Yep. I remember that stuff. Never thought about building a guitar with it though.
That was just killer. Gotta watch it again.👍👍🤘✌️
Great video! You really found a format I like!
Greetings from Algeria. Good to see you back with building videos. Great stuff. I got better at guitar repairs especially refretting thanks to your course. Many thanks Will.
I’m glad to see your hands are rock steady… no sign of intention tremors!
WELCOME BACK
When the video started, I thought you were joking. Building a guitar from firewood, what a troll. But the result looks stunning. Like a lightning storm over the ocean. I hope it plays as well as it looks. Good luck with the recording!
Thank you! Cheers!
The guitar came out great !
That looks spectacular 🤘
Anyone quoting Bob Ross can't be all bad. Sweet build.
Thank you for sharing this with us.. It is a beautiful guitar.
Awesome guitar man, that came out fantastic.
Super interesting! And I guess the last 30 secs of the clip, when he was testing the pickups & then finale shot of the guitar, it looked SO different--from the angle of testing the pickups--to the complete product. For me, it had that "WOW" factor.
Wow, that is beautiful Will. You do amazing work. You've got to be proud. I know I would be if I had those skills. Can't wait to hear it!!
SO SO SO fricking kool I sooooooo want one big time. You sir are awesome.
Sweet!
Thanks!
Amazing! Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely phenomenal build my man! You're very, very talented!
It’s great to see you back on the platform will. Can’t wait to see more 👍🏻
Happy to see you back and this guitar is beyond amazing brother it pops from every angle it is truly a work of art wish you the best and can’t wait to see more
Beautiful.
Looks pretty cool Will. It was interesting when you were finishing the guitar I noticed you added dobs of clear to help fill the grains and then add another layer straight over the top. Never thought of doing it that way! Would probably have saved me me using extra layers of paint.
I've been finishing off a build I did a while back on an ash body and had the same issues with a deep grain to it. I used a thinned out fence paint for the green so the grain came out, then hit it with loads of clear to even it out. Now the tedious task of rubbing it back....again.
Ho.
Lee.
Sh.....
uh...
THAT'S GREAT!!!!
I'm glad to see you back for even one video. Your body of work has been informative and entertaining.
More to come!
Interesting build Will. Make a guitar from a couple of bundles of firewood, and use the scraps for the fireplace. Definitely an efficient use of the wood. Look forward to the album.
excellent
HEY MAN! Hope you're makin a comeback. I've been full tilt on the guitars but it hasn't been the same without ya.
thank you.
Lovely looking guitar.
Many thanks!
Awesome Build!!
This is one of the coolest guitars i ever seen
Praying for your health. You make beautiful stuff!
FABULOUS BUILD. VERY IMPRESSIVE.
It turned out pretty good. Like the paint job a lot. I also like the concept the way you went about coming up with the design then implemented it. Good work.
Nice dude. Seems like you feel decent, you have a lot of motivation
looks can be deceiving. during half of this i was recovering from surgery and feeling miserable.
Welcome back. You’re the best.
Stoked to hear your album. You have less of the allergies atm it seems. The commentary this way works really well with the video.
The building course is so worth it! I come back to videos before I build something, diagnose some issues, get ideas for templates.
Hey Will, thanks for everything, rock on man!
No problem!
🔥🔥🔥🤘🏼
Happy New Year, Will! Thanks for sharing this!
My pleasure!
Awesome stuff very relaxing to watch you work!
Wow amazing build. Came out great. Keep us posted when the album comes out! 🙏💪
For sure!!
Man that's an awesome build!
Hey Will that is a beautiful guitar. Very cool, and inspiring. I don't play guitar, i play drums, bass, and vocals. It always fascinates me how things are made. Whether it's individually made or mass produced. In either case someone had a vision for what they wanted to build. Sometimes it just comes together.
Have a great day. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. 🙂
one of the coolest finishes i have seen!!!!
As always a fantastic looking guitar man
Ow man... your building videos are always amazing. Spraying the orange was just a genius idea
Thanks a ton!
Loved it. It came out really well
Thank you! This is a GREAT video!
This reminds me of the creation of the Platypus, venomous claws and all.
Really enjoyed to watching, guitar looks great too. I'd love to make a guitar body.
Great video and results Will. The close mic voiceover commentary works really well. Would be great to some more builds presented this way though I appreciate there are a lot of hours and editing involved in producing just 20 mins like this! You seem to have your mojo back these days, good to see 😊
Great job, love it!
Thank you!
So good to see you building. Been watching you for years. I love everything you do. Only you could make a guitar that gorgeous out of some firewood! 😂
