Most likely I will use this or the orange wood…I like the grain.

Currently we are constructing a Cigar Box Uke. The box is ready for assembly, reinforcement was done with rosewood. Small fretwire was ordered as well as bridges and nuts….
Glue up is complete, now to shape the neck. Check back often to see how we are doing.

Here is a video clip of our first attempt at building a Cigar Box Guitar. We used a Padron 7000 box as it had nice wood. After several builds, I belive that this one is the best so far. Enjoy and let us know what you think by adding your comments.
