Thanks for the encouragement Andries. I really appreciate it. Glad that you like the sound too. This is version two of the resonator building saga. First one just didn't sit right and was hugely heavy. This is heavy too but no where near as heavy so this is a keeper until it falls apart I reckon. Thanks again my friend.

lol sorry for making you want one more. Hope you enjoyed it though. Dani said to say "Hi Uncle John". You're right about a deep box, it's a big load of Ox! Thing is though, it's that jammed with bracing and huge neck pocket (not to mention the bowl space) that I'm surprised it has any room to reverberate and make all that noise!

Big box OX.   Deep box Ox for sure.    Very nice reso sound.   That dog bowl is working great. 

A six!   Darn you, Bear.  I am kind of lusting for a big box six and you are making it worse.  Hello to Dani!
