My nephew gave me these two boxes. They are all-cedar so they smell nice. But their lids were 1/4” thick which seemed too thick for good resonance. So I decided to make them into resos.

Hey Mosz, thanx. That cover is actually the middle of an old veggie steamer. The tail is a segment from the same steamer. I like the look but the tin can lid resonates better. Found it for a buck at a local junk store. Peace and joy!
