The neck is 1 x 2 inch oak that is the common at any builder supply store here in the US. (it is actually slightly less, but here in the US we round everything up ;-) ) The depth at the head is about 1/2 inch. We just eyeballed it with a hand rasp.
Any size box will work. You may just have a little extra space between the last fret and the box depending on your scale length. You could also use a shorter scale like 22 to 23 inch. Good luck with your build! Post pictures of your progress.
Big thanks for your reply. I found a box 51/2 x 51/2 aprox. size and I was not sure if it would be right.
Good decision about the neck. I was wondering, what is the neck's deep you came up with by the part where the machine heads go?

Would you mind telling me what size is that box? Is to draw a physical idea, you know?
