If you think that is scary then you won't be able to handle the one I am planning to build...
Really everyone gives me shit about that headstock.. And don't even remember why it's shaped that way :idk:

Is there any reason I couldn't get some pine, poplar or oak from Home Depot and turn it into a lap steel?
I mean, like, in terms of construction. I wouldn't expect it to be high-quality toanwood or whatever.

I saw some pine stair tread that looked good and felt dry...

I think you can probably turn almost any slab of wood into a lap steel. :idk:

Re: Lets see your LAPSTEEL!

no reason at all, go for it, as long as it is strong enough to hold the hardware.
toan, as we all know is in the hands anyway :D

The body on mine is a piece of pine from a old book shelf.. also weren't 40's fenders pine? or was that just tele prototype thing? Hell I've seen skateboards turned into lapsteels.

i've seen lap steels made of Masonite, and the old Rickenbacker that David Lindley used and i covet was made of Bakelite.
