it was only when i was looking at my projects i realised that i never posted my cajon before i made it around 6 months ago for my uncle johny who is a musician, this was my first finish that i real put a lot of effort into it is a satin lacquer and beeswax finish which i wet sanded and i have to say it feels beautiful.

The finish really does look smooth but I may sound stupid but what is a cajon? A Drum?

A cajon is a type of wooden drum made from 3/4” plywood all around except the front is thin plywood this makes more the one sound, search it on youtube you will find many examples

Dude, that sounded SO bad from the title, lol. That’s a really cool drum, brother. Someone’s got to post a video of someone really going after one of these badboys.

Adam,
It would help all of us out in Lumber Land if you would post the dimensions of your project, and tell us how you built it to give different tones. You can always edit your own post if you choose to.
To hear a small version of the bongo cajon played click here.

I have to agree, when I read the title I was like, “He’s gonna post a picture of his wood what?” Anyhow it’s an interesting instrument. I Looked it up on YouTube and found a few, and they are definitely different. Very cool.
This video is my favorite I think out of the ones I found because it shows a few different drums and their different sounds, and also how he makes the different tones by manipulating the drum, at times with his FOOT. Pretty cool.
