July instruments

Banjo #117 was a custom ash 12″ with a Whyte Laydie type tone ring and a Dobson heel.

#118 was a stock banjo, it can be seen on the Banjos page.

My last two projects were in the works at once. Fiddle #22 is a cherry chicken head and is shown on the Fiddles page, and I made a custom ash neck for a vintage banjo pot that was mailed to me.

My plan for August is to build a cherry A5 style mandolin and a walnut guitar bodied octave mandolin, and a banjo or two if time permits, as I will be gone for a week in the latter part of August as usual.
