Turned the rim walls down to size, glued rim caps on, just need to drill shoe holes in David's and shape the ledge on Mark's then they'll be ready for sanding.
Necks are all pretty much ready for carving the rears, hopefully that will be completed by the end of next week.
Bottom right banjo is a stock one I'm trying to sneak in! The pot had been sitting on a shelf for several years, I finally stretched a new goat skin on it last week, and the neck was made for a customer in Australia but had to be abandoned when the Rosewood regulations came into place. It will be for sale once completed (hopefully by the end of May), let me know if you are interested in it (Europe only, due to the Rosewood). Scale length is 24.75", price will be £650 plus shipping.
