It's been a busy year here in the workshop, and it only stands to get a little more busy in the coming months. Having just shipped my last banjo out to Connecticut, I will begin work on a new tackhead that ships to Hawaii in July. Simultaneously, I hope to complete at least two new banjos to bring along to Clifftop (if anyone is looking for a new tackhead, meet me in West Virginia) at the beginning of August. Should be a bustling next eight weeks here in J.P..

there is a new banjo in the gallery. check it out.

in case anyone actually cares, i made all new images for most of the sub-sections of the website. now they look better, causing some of the pages to actually look - dare i say - good.

take a gander!

just finished turning the dowel stick, and fitting it to the neck and pot. its looking pretty sweet. below, you can see the stages of the dowel stick as it was being turned on the lathe, as well as the test-fit banjo. click on the thumbnails to see full-seized images:
