12" Walnut and Padauk Openback

This banjo is stunning. My wife came up with the idea for the inlays and I used various types of shell to inlay a luna moth and phases of the moon into this beautiful banjo.  It is a 12" walnut pot with an Ashborn style rim that has padauk accents and tonering.  All the hardware is raw brass and it sports my own custom tension hoop which provides extra clearance around the neck when you are frailing at the scoop.  I put a goat skin head dyed dark with coffee to match the overall dark finish.  The neck is also walnut and padauk and has a 25.5" scale and a 1.375" width at the nut. The inlays are great on this one... moon phases on the fingerboard done in black and gold pearl, and a luna moth of green sea snail, black pearl, gold pearl, and abalone.  It is buttery to play and listen to!
