Crotchwood Pickguard

[Rob Luter]

My best buddy has a Fender Strat that had an an aftermarket wooden pickguard that just didn't measure up. I have a stash of Walnut Crotchwood and made him a suitable replacement for Christmas. I think it turned out pretty well. Finish is Watco Danish Oil (Natural) with Garnet Shellac to seal it up and paste wax as a topper.

Rob, that looks really sharp with the contrasting lighter wood of the body and neck. Kudos!
