    Thanks Unc and 'Dog!  Yeah. this was a really nice box, but not very wide for a regular CBG.  Probably would have worked fine, but I've wanted to make a diddley bow for quite a while anyway!  And I do plan on diddlin' this bow, 'Dog!  (Love the quote!)

    Love it Gary! I like the picture hanger tail piece too! "Diddle your Bow like Bo Diddley Did" is what Justin say's :-)

    That box looks great as a diddley.

    Thanks Bug!  Sure goes together a lot quicker than the more ornate, fretted ones!  They're all good!

    No that's a proper CBG...just needs 1930 bale wire an that's authentic...broom handle an all
