Really nice Raymond!
Are you going to ever try a five or six string?

Radek, It's about 8 or 9 inches in diameter and about 3 inches deep.
Pete, The next one I do is going to be for my five year old daughter and I think I'm just going to make it a one stringer diddley bow. Played with a slide and a stick.
After that, I'm thinking about a four string with frets. I'm debating putting a volume and tone knob or a humbucker style pickup in it as well. All of that info is out on the web and they can be as fancy or as simple as you want. I may even go with tapered wood pegs for the tuners instead of buying them but I haven't decided on that.
I can't even play the three string very well so I don't know what the heck I'm going to do with that fourth and can't imagine having to deal with a fifth or sixth.

Does your neck run through the bowl, like they shoe on the cigar box ones?
Thanks
The neck does run through the bowl. I cut a half moon out of each side.

Raymond, anymore guitars? I got the DVD fron Jelly Belly Music. Great video. I started working on one this weekend. I didn't have wood to turn a box so I made a retangle one. Got some wood for the neck today and ordered some parts. I don't know how long it will take me to finish, or if it will work, but I'm having a great time.
Raymond, Do you have a post on Youtube showing how it sounds when played? I think it would be nice to hear you play one of them for us!!!
Keep on a pickin!
