Here's my personal jig for making strings.
About 8 years ago, I had the opportunity to purchase a dozen or so raw boards, all twins of this one for $15 each.
I was traveling down the Oregon coast and stopped at one of those roadside wood places that sells carving and such. In a dusty corner was about a dozen of these nicely figured planks. Three quarters thick with a live edge on both sides. I didn't know what I'd do with them, but knew I liked them, so I bought two. They sat in my shop for a few years until I walked in one day looking to make my first jig. Presto!
Love it! Rivets, notations, finish. 👍
Great looking wood made into a great looking jig, Well done Jim

Very nice, love that Myrtle Wood.
Ira, Your board even looks better than mine. I have a 2X4 with a dowel on each end that I use to make endless loop strings.
Jim, Nice work🔥
wowza those are beautiful
As Monte Python would say, "And now for something completely different".
Just wanted to show you what a wood hacker does compared to a wood craftsman.
Don't know where the design came from. Probably some magazine article. I made it in the early 1980s. It's longer than the usual board at 43".
Are these for sale?
NICE!
Are some of those pegs pop rivets?
