a very simple, but playable :)i have many of this same whiskey box , so may build others with the neck on the different box sides and make twins ; "Jim" and "Beam" ahah

thanks all :) when it comes for family request (most of the time free gift which will only be used as decorative) i keep them simple; two sting/diatonic with rest from previous builds, unused strings etc
Hilo Greg; for the tuning i do quite random depending of the strings, most of the time G/D ; works good on diatonic i think; or i like to tune them on the same note too, using the last string simply for melody and the first one as a drone string
Maddog, i recently tried the maple Beam.. bleh tasted like cough sirup to me ahah

thanks for the kind comment sir :)
That is something I'd be quite happy to hang on my wall!
I like the way that the bridge is across the red band on the box.
I see that your diatonic has the 6 1/2 fret. Gives more scope for songs.
Happy drinking, ahem, building!

Looks great, and I love the painted neck.
Just curious, how do you tune your 2-stringers?

Nice Calim! Drank a LOT of Beam back in my youth :-)
Pleasing.
Cool.
