It's got an innie AND an outie, so it's ambidextrous. |

Maybe it is someone's reinterpretation of a Gibson "O" artist model. It looks like a challenge - build a guitar from it. Might be a hoot! |

Pallet mold. The slots allow it to burn faster. |

I've seen a number of very similar molds here in Hawaii. Like all things in lutherie, you can often trace a lineage of jigs and styles by the way they are constructed. Reminds me very much of the molds that were used in the prison shop near Hilo in days past when prisoners were allowed to use tools.-Bob |

Bob said, "Reminds me very much of the molds that were used in the prison shop near Hilo in days past when prisoners were allowed to use tools." I think you are right on. Makes sense that prisoners would build in a way they could see to the outside. Oh, that heating blanket you sent me several years ago is still going strong. I love bending wood without hearing that pop. |

Kind of OT, but ... Back when American Lutherie published the Questions Column we would regularly but infrequently get questions about strange lutherie jigs and fixtures like this one. We didn't spend too much time with these questions because these were generally not asked by luthiers but by eBay sellers just looking for a name for the thing. The jigs ranged from obviously expensive factory production items (one was a series of beautiful cast iron steamed heated plate arching molds from the Bohmann factory) to really crude stuff like the one pictured here. One interesting thing to me was that many of the crude jigs that looked like amateur creations at first glance turned out to have come out of the Gibson factory. |
