Profile Information

How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?
I looked up about using tung oil for my cigar boxes
How many instruments have you built so far?
no instruments but I have over 30 cboxes in the pipeline being upcycled into beautiful "treasure boxes"
What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here, your membership may be rejected).
I started out 15 mos. ago with no background in woodworking to make treasure boxes out of cboxes and I planned to also teach myself how to do some purses -- and I thought a way far out goal would be to make a guitar -- although a natural progression of my line of work here was also a nearly laughable goal -- but it seems a distinct possibility now!
