002: Just beautiful Richard.I love the peghead.The moon & star over a tree! The heel to pot looks very well set and you can tell it is because the instrument sounds so rich. What strings have you put to this banjo? I might try both Nylon and heavier strings to see what happens to the sound .
003: I have alway liked the rolled brass tone ring . The pots on both 002 & 003 look wonderful.
001: I love the tone of how you have this set up .. & it looks great too. More soon. Congratulations Richard

Guy, Thank you for the nice compliments!
I just finished up three tenor scale banjo-ukes with 10" rims and they sound great with the nylon strings and am anxious to try nylon on one of the five strings. tomorrow we are headed north for a couple of weeks so I wont be checking email or building any banjos till we get back home.
