DIY Cajon - III

Did a bit more work on the cajon today.  I made the snare mounting bracket and got it mounted.









It sounds quite good.  It's completely adjustable and removable.  I like the way it turned out.

After finishing up the snare, I spent time sanding the cajon and getting it ready for staining and finish.  I mixed up some blue and amber aniline dyes for this project.  I thought that the dark blue with the natural toppa would look nice.






 Here it is with two coats of clear gloss Deft...




I think it will match pretty closely to my Gretsch kit.  What do you think?

More tomorrow...
