Just completed Appalachian mountain banjo #2. Pretty much the same as #1 but this time with a wooden sound chamber (sound better) and with some naive mountain style carving around the mid section.
This is for sale for £350
I love these things... the brutalist architecture of the banjo world - solid, tough and primitive... and they sound great.
The wood is from an old (C1920s) piano - Poplar with walnut veneer. The whole thing was made using the most basic of tools in order to keep it looking close to those made by the mountain guys of the past... Im not keen on these banjos looking too slick.
