#757- Curly Cherry and Wine Barrel Oak Four String Banjo

This one was very fun for me. We knew the customer wanted Curly Cherry as the main wood, but we weren’t sure on the secondary wood. I was on a walk up the road when I thought of all the Oak barrel staves I had from our neighbors at Hiyu Wine Farm. As I got into the project, I realized we could use some of the Oak that was still stained from the wine! Once it was dressed up like that, the rest of the details followed easily. 11” Cherry block rim with Oak cap. 20” scale length Cherry neck with Oak stripes and Oak fretboard/head plate as well. The Goat skin is stained with Walnut shells from our yard. Arm rest and pickup complete the package.
