Yes the free ones always sound good. The 25 center's are almost as good and the ones for $5.00 seem a bit dull to me.

It almost seems like we're ripping stores off when we buy them for $.25 - $5. They simply don't know what they have! And the free ones! Dude!

Yep $5.00 is the most Ive paid for a wooden box. I also found a guy down at the flea market around the corner who sells them at $1 for cardboard and $2 for wood.

Thanks guys. I also just passed up a pile of junk set to the curb down the street and its full of small old wood crates that are built with box joints. They look to be an apprpriate size. And old wood pepsi crates for the old bottles. Im gonna grab them. The crates look to be well aged (i like that look) I think I can cut them down to a good height and slap on a new ply top and bottom and viola' a new cb! Damn I think Im developing an addiction! SHHHH dont tell anyone!
I used to like the deeper boxes till I found the Olivas
The thin bodies just seem to sit better and if you stick a makeshift reso in them they sound great
I built one on an Oliva Especial box that was 7x9x1 and stuck some sort of metal drink coaster in it as a reso
I built one for my non playing mother who basically just wanted something to hang on a wall, but someone came over to look at what I had and offered me $75 for POS
The sound that came out of that thing was a work of accidental art that should not have happened
I named it Sarah
Also like the Diamond Crowns, ugly box but a good sound and the La Aroma Cubana have a great size and sound
I buy most of wood from a cigar superstore for about $2 per if I buy in any kind of bulk
My business card models are usually made from the free Arturo Fuentue cardboard boxes I get from a local cigar store that has agreed to display my CBGs along with a local Asian Supermarket, if you can believe it
Stan, when you say carboard artuero fuentes are you refering to the paper covered box's? I've used some of them and mine were plywood and pressboard. Not a bad sound, great sound if its all youve got.
