Has any one used one of these boxes, or another rough sawn box? It has a lot of loose fiber on the outside that looks really cool, but I'm not sure how comfortable it will be to hold/play. Any tips or advice for using such a box? I plan to use a magnetic pickup since the top wood is rather thick.

My wife chose this Rough Rocky for the Uke I am building for her.

I actually finished this build and it went to John Anderson, He plays in the band McMule. (New York City) The cones I use come from Frank at Republic Guitars. Frank is a great guy tell him I sent you. FYI I hear all the time about National cones and I have thought about using them but to tell you the truth most of the guys that buy my builds are pro or semi pro they like the sound, and since Frank supports CBG builders I want to support him. (Just like Getty). Okay sorry more information then you wanted I know.
E. D - I build my stuff backwards (that way the artwork is intact, It was an idea of Keni Lee that I stuck with) This is one of the process pictures so I still needed to finish the raw wood.
Good looking build. What did you use for the reso?
