I know it's not a cigar box build, but I just finished my first solid body build mandolin. Featuring a figured bubinga neck through a sapele body, rosewood fretboard, flatpup 5 wired directly to the jack. 14 7/8 scale length.

This thing was originally a commissioned CrocBite, but it is so much fun... I might be hooked!

Thanks all! The mandolin cafe is an absolutely wonderful site that anyone who plays mandolin will appreciate. It's still going strong, as far as I know.
I've been on emando.com a lot lately too. Cool site.

I'm going to try a lot of tunings on this, but I've been having a ball with open A for now

It is a beauty.   Don't know if you play mando or not, but there is (or was) a site called Mandolin Cafe that has some easy 2 finger chord charts.
