This is a totally
new thing for me - Building banjos. one of my customers sent
me an email which said, "Wanna build a banjo?" My response
was, "Sure - let me look into what it'll take to do it!"
The rim for the customer's banjo
was made by Mark Hickler of Hickler Banjos:
The rim is made from curly maple.
The next two pictures are of the two banjos after the necks were
rough-cut and mounted to their rims:
I made the rim for the prototype
banjo the shop. To see more details on the construction process,
take a look at the Prototype banjo construction page and
the Customer
banjo construction page:
One more picture of the resonator,
just because the wood is so beautiful:
