Heres an "Old Timer" mountain banjo that ive just started. Its a left hander and twice i nearly cu the neck for a right hander! The pot is English Elm reclaimed from a piece of furniture and the neck is a piece of 500 year old oak reclaimed from an old barn... man its hard stuff!







A nice little repair job. These Deering Goodtime headstocks are attached with finger splines which look pretty weak and does seem to be a common breaking point.Simply re gluing wasn't really an option as some of the splines had snapped so i inlayed some maple reinforcement.
