There's another way to go here: get a small thick pillow, put it under the neck and across your lap...

I'm also a lefty and use a woven strap, button on end of box and the other end tied around the peg head above the nut. Works well. also have used an old belt with similar arrangement on another guitar ('cause who can stop with just one!)but with a short length of leather boot lace at the nut end.

For just 'supporting' a cbg, an cheap ukulele neck strap might work for you if your box has a typical, round sound hole, and if it isn't heavy. I bought a couple of 'em for under a buck, total, shipping included, and they work great on lightweight ukes. Search for “ukulele neck strap” on eBAY (and click on "lowest price first"). Don't let the stupidly cheap price put you off. I've seen similar neck straps on other sites for a lot more money.

As always, YMMV.

A hunk of scrap metal in the box at the tail end for balance?  :)

Perhaps a different approach. I support the CBG between my right forearm and thigh. With my arm resting on the edge of the box. This works great for a mid size squarish CBG I have.
