Banjo SN0056

My customer wanted me to build a banjo from some heart pine he had reclaimed.  It was old, hard, and made a surprisingly good sounding banjo. The neck is mahogany and the accents and tonering section is padauk.  My customer also supplied the rosewood for the fingerboard and headstock.  All hardware is raw brass, including my hand cast L-Shoes and tension hoop.  Very unique!
