laying_out_neck.jpgLaying out the neck226 viewsI printed out a full size photograph of an original William Boucher banjo in order to create a fairly accurate reproduction. Wood is (I believe) jatoba. It was free from my BIL's burn pile (he got it from a neighbor who does custom millwork and has better offcuts than anything in my wood stockpile).bwelch

pegs_shaver_reamer.jpgHome made peg shaver and cast steel tapered reamer245 viewsPeg shaver I made to go with this 19th c. "CAST STEEL" tapered reamer that was built to be used in a brace. Maple pegs I made with the shaver for my Boucher-style minstrel banjo next to an ebony violin peg I bought as a model for the appropriate size.
