Cigar Box Soprano, Continued

I've selected a lovely piece of American Cherry for the neck.  The plans show the scale of the neck.  This will be a 14" scale, slightly larger than my normal sopranos.

I've changed my mind on the top, abandoning the Cedar for a piece of English Cherry.  It will be rather more hard-wearing and will be a better match for the Cherry neck!

Cigar Box Soprano, Continued

I've removed the top of the box, tidied up the joints and glued the lid shut...

Top of Western Red Cedar being planed to thickness.

Next Project...

This battered old Henri Wintermans box will soon be a lovely soprano cigar box ukulele.

I'm going to try an English cherry top this time...
