Thanks for the box color ideas here on CBN and also on FB. I considered: black, off white, barn red,blue and yellow. Those were ideas from here or FB.
The yellow idea took me by surprise. But then since it was Maddog who suggested yellow, I thought about it. He has great taste in the designs and colors of his builds. Yellow with that yellow on the box top would have popped!
But since this one may be for me- I felt something more conservative would work better. The neck is red oak and I think I want a walnut or gunstock dark stain.
It is intended to be a 23 inch scale 4 string tenor guitar.
To be continued.

Thanks, Chris. The box is looking good with a blue poly stain that closely matches the blue on the white owl top. It's moving along slowly.
I love it UJ glad to see you're still building. You have irreplicable mojo.
Thanks, guys. First staining looked okay. Color looked good. I like how the pick guard fits the graphic too.
I think staining the box extension is an excellent idea. I especially like how the pickguard works with the round White Owl graphic. Looking forward to the completion of this build Uncle John.
I think a Dark Stain would highlight the White Owl Lid nicely, 2 of my fave Darkish Stains are Oak and Walnut
