1920s banjo restoration

I bought an old 1920s banjo in 2009 with a plan to restore it... ive only just got around to it.

The spun over rim was quite corroded, but otherwise in not too bad a shape

pearl dot missing, frets were heavily worn and loose. The ebony fretboard was deeply worn and very cracked and had chunks missing from it.
The peg head veneer was very cracked and lifting from the peghead.

I removed the old frets (some just fell out) the ebony around the slots was so dry that it started to crumble away. I needed to do a lot of careful filling and repairs to get the neck looking good again and stable.

 
As it was a fairly cheap banjo i wasnt too worried about customising it a bit so i cut in a frailing scoop.

Here it is re fretted, MOP dot replaced, fretboard treated with my secret blend of special oils and fitted to pot

Peg head re polished and new ebony pegs fitted
