Flatfoot Johnny: Another tackhead grain measure banjo complete

In my old wooden cabin up in the hills of south east London I make banjos, canjos, cigarbox guitars and other things that go twang. Every instrument is fully hand made in the traditional way with a minimal use of power tools and usually using reclaimed timber (that way i can use exotic hard woods and sleep well at night). So if you are interested in buying a high quality unique instrument keep checking here or contact me if you would like to commission something. flatfootjohnny@hotmail.com

Stained and antiqued ash neck with Zebrano finger board

Thanks John. Much-a-flippin-preciated :-)

love your little soldiers... I've been getting the urge recently do some figure painting. I used to be well into The Games Workshop figures.
