Finished my second, what do you think?

Here it is, the second one. Sounds pretty good, a bit different from the first one but I expected that as the box is very different in size and wood. Click on my page for more pictures of this one.

Thanks for the compliments. This is an addictive hobby, I've already got 3 cigar shops lined up to supply my need for more box's, and ideas filling my head too.

Wow, I really like that head! A pro job. Did you stain that or is that the natural wood color? What wood is that?

That's a beauty, Michael. Very clean lines, great headstock. You got a winner there.

Wow! I really like that! I'm working on my second build, but it certainly will not be the neat and professional looking job you've done. Nice one!

Good for you. That's the way to do it. Waiting to see them when they're done.
