I wanted to try to make a cigar box from start to finish in 24 hours. This project was simple and didn’t take much effort.

I took some hard as rock maple and cut a strip out of it. I also used a table saw to router out the neck so it would sit nicely in the box and the fretboard would be flush with the top of the box. There are probably better ways to router it out, but I had a table saw and a time limit, so that’s the way it goes.

I used some basic hardware from Ace to set the strings in place. This isn’t the tightest project I’ve ever done, and could definitely improve on the project.

Made in 2018.
