Last week I went to the lumber yard and found a piece of cherry that was in their half off bin. I got a board about 8" wide and over 4 feet long for a little over $4. This is 4/4 lumber and there is some very pretty wood in it.
I am making my own box since one of the guys I work with made a boxjoint jig and is making a guitar along with me on this one. We are both using spruce for soundboards that formerly graced the insides of a Steinway piano for about 90 years.
Here are a few pics of our work this evening after the shop closed.

LOL, Thanks for the compliment. This is just the most fun thing I think I've ever done and then to now be able to make my own boxes so I can have any size box I want is a trip!
