billybopp Report post Posted December 16, 2020 The only stringed instrument I could ever really manage was that 88 string guitar. Just can't get my fingers to move right on any others and arthritis has only made that worse. I have a neighbor that is a "found items" artist and has managed to find a LOT of cigar boxes, and gave me few. I gave them a light sanding inside to bring up that lovely aroma of Spanish Cedar, and covered them with leather to give as gift boxes, jewelry boxes, or valet boxes. Most were covered with lightweight chrome-tan, some with a little fancy stitching at the corners, and I tried a couple with come carved veg-tan. They're a relatively simple and quick project that makes a really nice gift. - Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
