Quest for a box

All guitars start with 2 parts.  The first and most important is the box.  The second is the neck, which actually depends on the box.  I work mainly with red oak, black walnut and cherry for neck wood.  Choice of neck wood depends in part on what supply I can get, and in part on how the wood matches up with a particular box.

Today while out and about with the family I stumbled across a new shop that had a boat load of excellent solid wood boxes.  Hopefully, this week I'll get started on the next batch.
