How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Scientists may never know the answer to this tongue-twisting question, but we do know one thing about wood: woodworkers worldwide are working hard to turn wood into wonderful works of art. 

If you are not familiar with the Woodworking subreddit, have you been living under a log? Sorry, I’m only yanking your chain(saw). This community is famous for woodworkers sharing their most incredible and creative creations from bird feeders to bookshelves to bowls. We’ve gathered some of our favorite posts from the group to share with you down below, so you too can admire their handiwork and celebrate just how much effort and artistry went into these pieces. Be sure to upvote all of your favorite creations, and then let us know in the comments what you would create if you had the superpower of turning wood into anything your heart desires. Then if you’re interested in checking out Bored Panda’s last article on the same subreddit, look no further than right here.

Thank you for sharing! My grandma was completely blind from birth and the incompetency people assumed of her was pretty infuriating. Strangers would ask her how she got herself dressed. Can you dress yourself with your eyes closed? Come on people. She taught piano for a living and was a wonderful mother and seamstress, crocheter, cook and housekeeper. She used a typewriter to send letters to the sighted and used to read me stories in the dark. She was a talented person, as are you. I am thrilled that you are sharing your talent with the world. More need to know that blind people can do many amazing things.

Nice. I just bought a cheap semi-hollow telly to practice my lutherie skills and I was thinking of something similar. So far, I installed a brass nut (That I can elevate to play slide), locking tuners (I do that on all my restores now) and changed the neck humbucker to something a bit fatter. Next I am installing a 5 way switch to split the neck humbucker and I am loking into a thin humbucker for the bridge, but I'd really love to do something similar with the pickguard. Also love your bridge. Did you make it or did you find it like that?

I might be terrible but I can’t believe this is scroll saw. This just has to be laser cut. There’s no shame in that, it’s a great design and execution, but scroll saw? The work is SO fine and detailed. Someone with more knowledge should weigh in. *edit, I was wrong. It can be done with a scroll saw.
