The longer this DeUno Cajon sat on the end of my bench, the more the materials kept pulling my attention back.

Mineral streaking.
Figure.
Small imperfections.

None of it really matches perfectly.
But somehow it all works together.

This DeUno Cajon has been sitting on the end of my bench for a few months with nothing but sanding sealer on it while I’ve been working through customer orders.

And every time I walk by it, I notice something different in the materials.

Mineral streaking.
Figure.
Color shifts.

It’s completely ununiform.
But somehow it all works together.

Many people picture a box you sit on when they hear Cajon.

This is a Segundo Cuban Cajon, held between the knees and played from the front.

This is a Tumba and Segundo Cuban Cajon.

Spalted maple.

This is what happens when fungus moves through the wood. It leaves behind lines and patterns you can’t replicate.

No two pieces ever come out the same.

Spalted maple just came into the shop.

This is what happens when fungus starts working through the wood. It leaves behind these lines and patterns you can’t replicate.

No two pieces ever come out the same.

This one’s got a lot going on already.

Looking through the port after the finish is laid in.

Interior sealed with shellac. Label set.

This part of the instrument stays hidden once it leaves the shop, but it still matters.
