Just started building up a finish on these two banjos, the Walnut burr overlay on the Maple neck is beginning to look pretty smart. Both banjos should be ready for assembly early next week, the Maple/Cherry 'lefty' is a commission but the all Walnut banjo will available for purchase next week, so keep an eye on the 'banjos in stock' page!
I also managed to cut the slots and start shaping the 'ramps' on the commissioned Cherry slothead banjo today. Everything's groovy!
