Thanks Dani and Bear. I've since made several others with cardboard boxes and they all have quite a nice tone. The song is an original that I wrote for the CBN Christmas album that year.

That's a cardboard uke? Wow. I didn't expect that at all. The tone is gorgeous. First time I've heard that song too. Bitter sweet and beautiful.

Thanks much Sammy! I'm pretty sure my wife prefers my uke strumming over my scratching away at the fiddle!

Thanks Unc. I'm not sure about a soundpost in yours, usually I do that if the top seems to need some help.

Thanks Nancy.

Sweet song Jim~that uke sounds really good ~~~ Meowwwww^^

Comment by Uncle John on December 19, 2014 at 2:04am

Sounds great.   Ohh,   I like that song.    Thanks, Jim.   You caused me to open up my uke from you and look inside again.   If you did it the same way, I will bet on it holding up fine.
