The Birth of a Banjo Ukulele and Other stuff.

I finished up the Somerset S7 Banjo Ukulele prototype today and I must say, this little thing is fun! I am going to live with it for a few days to test it out, I know it will torture Patrick but here are a few photos for your viewing pleasure.







In other news here are a few construction photos of the BM09002 custom banjo.

Here is an image after the cocobolo strip and curly maple cap have been glued up.


This is the tone ring getting ready to be glued to the rim.


One can never have enough clamps!


And here is the rim after being turned and rough sanded.




Until Next time.
