Design Your Case
Plan the size based on how many picks you want to store (e.g., 4" x 3" x 1").
Include a removable or fixed divider to separate pick types.
Cut the Wood
Base, Lid, Sides, and Ends to size.
Cut a thin divider if desired.

Ensure the box is square and sturdy.
Add the Lid
Attach a small hinge to the lid and base.
Install a magnet to keep the lid securely closed.
Sand Until Smooth
Round all edges for a comfortable feel.
Smooth the interior so picks slide in and out easily.
Personalize the Lid
Wood-burn or engrave your name, a music symbol, or a favorite lyric.
Keep the design clean and centered.
Apply a Natural Finish
Use mineral oil or beeswax to protect the wood and enhance its grain.
Let it dry completely.

Arrange your picks by thickness, color, or tone—and never lose one again!

Pro-Tips for Success

Avoid Heavy Finish Inside: A natural interior prevents picks from sticking.
