Build #20! A gourd banjo with some gourd-geous woods

Couldn't help the pun, it had to happen

Available

The latest build (#20!) is a gourd banjo made from curly maple. The fretboard, peghead overlay, and backstrap are from this really nice piece of figured walnut. I'm thrilled with how it came out, the wood just looks so nice! Hopefully it comes through in the photos.
