This is my best design and dimensions after plenty of prototypes. It is 11 3/4 " X 11 3/4" X 16 1/5" with a 4" offset rear port as I think it has the deepest shops bass response. I found a really sweet spot for the snare too. The one pictured is not stained, which I prefer, but I will stain the front or back and sides for you if you wish. The wood in the current photo is real birch and has a dark color with lots of grain. I can also create ones with blonder wood. The first one pictured has a non adjustable snare but you can order one with one as seen in the photos of the ones with knobs. Let me know if you want a standard polyurethane (or shellac) finish or hand rubbed poly (pictured) finish.
I have spent some time checking out over 20 Cajon's at Sam Ash. Most of the ones below the $149 range felt and played like a cardboard box. I am certain my design sounds better than many of them is of a higher quality.

I was offering a flat rate of $20 shipping and covering the differences but the price has varied too much, like $43 to CA. I now have it calculate the shipping. If the calculation seems to be crazy high contact me so I can review.
Please note, the lead time is noted as 2 to 3 weeks. Depending on order volume and finish type I may have yours done in less time. The average is about 10 days from order to shipping. I will give you an ETA when you order if you contact me.
I offer a 10 day return policy and currently will refund half your return shipping if you do decide to return it. I will repair your Cajon free of charge as long as you own it and you pay shipping.
