Greg,

Fastest way to find what you're looking for is eBay. I found 4 Arturo Fuente King B boxes, sized 13" x 8 1/4", very quickly, for $9.99 each. Others to look for are the 11" Macanudo Gold, And some of the Padrons. It's very rare to find anything larger than 13", but spend some time on eBay, or alternatively, click the ad to the right for Cigar Box Deals to see if they have something like you want in stock.

Or you can use a smaller resonator with a regular size box (unless you already have a resonator and need a box to fit).

Here is a link to Old Lowe's handmade resonators. http://smokehouseguitars.com/blognewsroll/?cat=38

TB,

I'm with you. I make my own because I can't get boxes where I live. Greg, it really isn't too difficult to build a decent box. That way, you can have the size you want / need. Check out "Homemade Resonator Boxes 101, v 2.0" here on CBN.

I have one of these boxes and It works great.  Biggest I could find here is 13 x 9" x 3".  It does have a lip around the top and bottom edges.

Heavier wood than a cigar box though.   http://stores.ebay.com/designcraft-industries?_trksid=p4340.l2563  john

I'm liking the idea of a wine box. I have a "wine bar" a few blocks from my house and they actually use the old boxes to decorate the place. I'll pay them a visit. Thanks!
