I had some extra material on my neck, I was going to cut it off, but thought I could do something ornate with it, I'm going to make a peg wall hanger for It, and try a strap with it also. Thanks for taking an interest in it. Its my first fretted instrument, I learned a lot along the way,

Here’s a little skill builder exercise for beginners, based on the Major scale. It starts with a simple Scale, then progressively builds on it, adding one note at a time. You only need one string for this, so Diddley Bow’s are perfect for this exercise.
