We just tacked down the head. The rawhide is drying now.

Jeff, any updated pictures of the banjo?

Thanks AGP. Over here it would be hard to say what part of those roo-hide banjos would be more of a novelty--the cigar box pot or the kangaroo head. I'm really looking forward to hearing how that one comes out.

With any luck, Jeff and I may get this one finished in two or three days. I'll let you know how it works...

Looks good, I am planning on doing something similar to a CBG with kangaroo hide, be interesting to hear how it sounds.

Thanks, John, that's what I'm hoping too. I've seen a few of Jim's videos with really nice banjo heads made from bottles I think, but I didn't know he had clips on how to make them. That would be useful to watch for sure.

Hope it plays as well as it looks.  Have you seen Jim Morris's vids on making banjo heads?

Comment by Marcy Paulson on July 24, 2014 at 11:26am

Thanks, I'm excited to see how it's turning out.
