The root of this project was a banjo uke I made for myself last year that used a 10” vintage rim. I really liked it and folks started to ask for it after hearing me play it. This one is all Walnut from trees I’ve milled and I really like the look of just one species of wood. The 10” rim seems to have a little more air and resonance behind the notes and looks and feels proportional to me. Can’t wait to get it in your hands, Louise, and Happy Birthday!

FYI- I have parts set aside for a Maple one this winter, drop me a line if you are interested.
