Missed your call somehow buddy - damn answerphone didnt give me your number either.
Anyway, the place I get my timber from has changed name - its now under the Jewsons banner. Easy to find, alomost opposite the new marina under the kessock bridge. Ask to see their hardwood latting.
Bloody hell! Didnt expect to find another CBGer in Inverness!
For your timber, head down Longman Road (not Longman Drive!) - its the road that goes along the waterfront, UNDER the Kessock bridge. Theres a builders merchants down there that stock hardwood. Cant remember the damn name, but its the big modern place about half way down - always have a hand drawn sign selling rock salt hanging off the fence. Next time Im out Il drive by and get the name for you
Anyway, ask to see what they have - I buy Meranti from them, but they sometimes have oak too.

Recorded with a MXL 990 Microphone that I bought used off ebay for 40 bucks. Music - from the webpage https://www.reddogguitars.com There is CBGs for sale...

At last i made my first cigarbox guitar, it works fine,its nothing fancy just bits of this and that i found in my house,
I named it;little devil titan,
its my son,s old hockey stick.
Thought this may be of use for others to try;i used rivets for my strings to go through
at the tail end.there should be a picture of the rivets used,hope this is a help to someone,
