I have a friend, a fellow boat builder, who has commissioned me to build a cigar box uke for him. Would prefer a nautical theme. (Sailing boats, canoes, owl & pussycat, mole & ratty, whatever). No hurry. Any leads / offers appreciated. Thanks!

With all the rain we are having Noah's Arch!....please give me back our summer!!!!

This is a box I did a year or so ago

hi

why not in the shape of a canoe or a boat, I'm making a three-string show you pictures next time

good luck

Made it like a titanic shape. he will love it.

I would do the neck in a lighter wood. Cut a wider headstock with rosewood spine and rounded head. (Will give the canoe paddle look), make the fretboard of Teak wood with brass or gold EVO  frets, and brass nut, (Being reminiscent of a boat deck and brass/bronze riggings), paint body black with a "Jolly Roger" applied :-)

"hello

it is possible one open D G B 035 026 017 and what tuning would be open in D or g

thanks"

hey

no answer for this question

no little help

what open tuning

thanks

You would probably get a faster answer if you started your own thread instead of posting your question in a thread that deals with an entirely different topic.

Open D would be DAD, Open G would be GDg

i plan on buildin my mom a wall hanger that is lighthouse themed . Im building the box out of some drift wood i have  . should be a purdy little git when im done .

You can uke or you can paddle with a uke'n'paddle.
