BLUES BOX GUITARS

Blues Box Guitars and Bird Houses

Blues Box Guitars and Bird Houses is a one-man shop with two distinct interests:

1) making handcrafted guitars and keeping the early Blues tradition of handmade cigar box guitars alive and

2) making unique Bird Houses that preserve bird habitat and encourage bird watching.

Each piece is hand crafted using high-quality, reclaimed hardwoods - some rare. These pieces all come from old American barns and other old buildings.
Seminole Turtle

As a member of the Great Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, I value the earth and the soul-music produced when pre-loved items find their new niche.
Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley prove that true Mojo can come from a player with a "home-made" guitar.

And some of the best come from my small workshop. Sweet!
