I went to a show in Baltimore last year where I first saw a Cajon.  The fellow playing it also had a foot pedal operated tambourine.  I'm working on one from leftover mahogany marine ply.  Rand out and found a piece of maple to finish & give good contrast.  Won't be as nice as yours.  And I did use my Kreg!

Will, another quality project from your shop.  Looks excellent with the contrasting woods and color and could easily become a feature in ones home.  I like the method of how you photographed it using a plant setting of greenery as a back drop.  You know this could also double as a sub woofer box very easily and is an idea you might be able to promote.  Thanks for sharing.

Very nice job. I found a video on Youtube that shows the Cajon in action. Check out the link below...
