Hello.. Thank you for the Positive Comments! I Love to make them! The all wood box was a consignment build. It really put me though the ringer. But in the end it was one of my best looking and best sounding CBG's so far. Happy Holidays. Jeff V cigarboxluthier.com
Thanks. Im finding lots of strange boxes. I live in Iceland and during the war they had an American army base here and the Americans would sell banned items to the locals. If you go to the farms they are full of interesting boxes and things from that time. Seen a few cadillacs as well.
Hey Muddy; "moonshine crooks" factory in Penn. closed down after 100 years, but they are selling unused boxes on Ebay...they are made of compressed fiber, so i reinforced it with 1/4" pine,pretty good tone..

We started a fest here in St. Louis not knowing who or if anyone knew about CBG's and we had an amazing turn out. I think you'd be surprised at how many closet type CBG people are out there. Start a fest and you'll draw them out. KC is almost 5 hrs from home so your not too far a drive for me so get started.

I drove from St. Louis to KC to attend their fest, looks like you might be closer, so if you start your own fest I would definitely come. All you need is a willing host and a bunch of us crazy people.
