I made this guitar stand for the father of two very good friends of mine for his 50th birthday.
The design is basically a copy of the “Take a Stand” line of guitar stands, but with the company being based in America it would have been pretty difficult to get one over here in Australia before the big date, so I decided to make one him on instead.
The stand is made entirely out of Westen Australian Sheoak wich would have to be one of my favorite woods, its got an unmistakable grain pattern with amazing ray flakes that you just dont get in any other australian hardwood.
Construction is very basic, with a simple mortice and tenon secures the stand to the base, and that is held in place with screws (no glue so it can be disassembled), The jaw up top that holds the guitar is just made out of off cuts from the slab and held in place with a single dowel and glue.
Finished with my go-to Danish Oil finish, and a single coat of buffing oil.

That turned out really nice. I saw the beginnings of it in your latest video post and wondered how it might turn out. I really like the simplicity of the design. And in my opinion the Gibson SG is one of the sexiest guitars ever made. What a great combination!

Thanks for all the comments!
Yep the SG is one of the greatest guitars out there, that is why the one in the photo is mine! :D
The stand is actually going to be used for another great guitar, the Gibson LesPaul, But seeing my SG sitting on this stand i think i might have to make another one for my pride and joy.
