It is the full size box, except that height has been reduced to 3-3/4" and the wood is 3/8" thick for the side panels, 1/4" thick for the front, rear, and bottom panels, and 1/8" thick for the top panel. The top panel is box elder, all other panels are curly spalted maple. The fret board, nut, bridge, bottom panel stripes, and tail piece is padauk. There is a US silver dollar inlaid into the fret board. Grover brand tuners. The bottom panel is removable with brass flat head screws. The wicker weave is a 2x2 model that I created, and so is the chair cane weave.
There is some natural red streaking in the box elder top panel (but I assure you that it is not my blood spatter from learning to play this thing).
It does sound pretty good, though spalted maple may have sounded a little better.CarveOne
