Laugh all you want... BUT!
The first stringed instrument I made (NOT counting rubber bands around a facial tissue box) was inspired by finding a straight piece of TREE LIMB that somebody had stripped the bark from, and let it dry out in our basement for quite a while.
It was already sawed (sawn??) lengthwise, to be a half round.
So I took some scrap wall paneling, made a sort of balalaika body, copied the fret spacing from my sister's baritone uke, and by gosh, the dang thing WORKED.
Three strings, but that's enough to form a chord!

"instant luthier?"
Do you add water to the log, or just take a bath and suddenly know how to build a guitar?
