This grain is unreal.

Redwood burl. No finish.

The character is already there—the process just brings it forward.

Redwood burl in its raw state. No finish—just the material as it sits on the bench.

Box joint.

When everything lines up, it doesn’t need force—just pressure and it seats clean.

That fit is what makes the whole piece work.

Box joints coming together on a cajon build.

Cut clean, tuned by hand, and dry fit.
This is where the work shows.

Box joints being cut on a cajon build.

Clean cuts, careful layout, and getting each joint right. This is where accuracy starts to show—and where everything depends on it.

Simple joinery, but no room for error.

It’s just a box.

That’s what drew me to it.

The simpler something looks, the harder it is to get right. There’s nowhere to hide—every detail shows.

I’ll break this down more tomorrow.

Same cajon as yesterday’s video.
Maple body with an integrated bass port and a fiddleback walnut faceplate.

This is what’s behind that sound.

Maple body with an integrated bass port.
Fiddleback walnut faceplate.

Tight response.
Strong low end.

Zebrawood faceplate wiped with naptha to reveal the grain before finish.

#TonewoodStories #KopfPercussion #cajon #woodworking

Walnut body with a zebrawood faceplate, freshly sanded.

At this stage, you can start to see how the grain will look once the finish goes on. Zebrawood has strong contrast, while walnut stays more subtle.

Maple body with a bookmatched fiddleback walnut faceplate. Clean joinery and a finished instrument ready to be played.

"Je suis la maitre de mon destin, je suis le capitaine de mon âme."
Prise de son à forte charge émotionnelle.

After 17 years building percussion instruments, I still find myself learning new things in the shop.

Craftsmanship doesn’t really have a finish line. The longer you stay with it, the more it teaches you.

#CraftOverHype #KopfPercussion #cajon #instrumentmaking

Fiddleback walnut faceplate.

Sanded and logo applied. Next step is sanding sealer before finish.

Bookmatching really makes the ripple in this walnut show up.
