Found this "Giant Redwoods of California" box at an antique store for my next build. Wonder what redwood sound like!

  • That's a really nice bullet bridge. I'm leaning towards preserving the art work and flipping the box and putting in a reso cone.

    Did this one back in 2012. They're nice boxes, I think you'll be happy with it.

  • I've got a date box (cigar box size) that's redwood. It's going to be my next uke build. It has a beach scene on the lid (sand, palm trees, etc.) so I thought the sound hole should be offset and be the sun about to set. At least that's my current thought.

  • I honestly couldn't cut that up - prob just me but it looks too good to hack at *shrug*

  • Use the other side, then.

  • That's good to hear! Hopefully it turns out well. This box is a little bigger than your average cigar box so I briefly comtemplated putting a reso cone but it would have obscured to much of the picture on the box.
  • Read wood is great. Good light wood. I've built with redwood "sinkers". From logs pulled out of water. You will like the tone. Beautiful box!
