Backwoods Boogie Boxes

Backwoods Boogie Boxes We build all our instruments by hand in beautiful Jessamine County, Kentucky. Every piece is unique and often made from everyday items.

Each one pays homage to a time when resourceful folks made music from the things around them.

I just finished #21. It's a four string acoustic. Nothing to wild for this one, deer antler nut, a screw for the saddle, magnets hold the box closed. I coated the body in poly and the neck and bridge in beeswax. I may scallop the fretboard.

Do you recognize the song? I may not be playing it right, I just kinda worked it out by ear.

I love this 3 string acoustic/electric guitar I finished recently. I'm sure it would sound much better if played by somebody who can actually play. 🤣

Number 20 is all finished. I distressed the box and added several lacquer coats. The neck is 100+ year old oak to***co sticks coated in beeswax. I scalloped the whole fretboard and I am quite happy with the result. The bridge and k***s are to***co stick. Deer antler for the nut. Theres a piezo under the lid. I like this one.
