I did not make this fingerboard, though I have made a cello fingerboard in the past. This one looks to be mahogany. I scraped the black paint off of it and treated it with boiled linseed oil. It looks great. I glued it to the neck for final fitting.
Then i glued a cherry nut blank onto the end and roughed out the nut. These both get removed for final finishing if the instrument.

Intersting project, newer heard about a box cello. Did you make it up yourself and where did you find inspiration?
Looking forward to learn how it is to play!

What an intriguing story, enjoyed reading about the instrument and the people owning it. Enjoy building!
