#788- Fir and Oak Mini Five String Banjo

This was a really fun project with several unique features that really came together in the end. The main wood is salvaged Douglas Fir, complete with knots, checks and nail holes. The secondary wood is White Oak from wine barrels from our neighbors at Hiyu Wine Farm. We also stained the goatskin head to match the oak and I inlaid a little purple heart on the headstock. Open C tuning on a 17” scale, 8” rim banjo.
