A friend of mine with some high level wood working experience has been studying with our group for 3 years now, and has been slowly refining his process with constructing cajons and clave. He's generated quite an inventory, so I thought I'd mention this to our list. I can personally vouch for the great construction and attention to detail. It makes a nice option to spend less than you would for a Fat Conga cajon, and still get almost the same quality. Here's a link to a past thread on his cajons: Cajon Thread
I got a new set of clave he made, and they are exceptional! Way more volume and woody mid-tonal "pock" sound than the high pitch "tink" sound of rose-wood.
Anyone who's interested, you can PM me and I'll get you his phone number.
