I hope you’ll indulge me posting progress on this, I am enjoying the process. I realized quickly with guitar projects as with my music that if I relied on this for my food , clothing and shelter I would surely be starving, naked and homeless. I spent today’s lockdown on the tailpiece, I sawed some of the elm from the other project into the radius of the banjos so it would fit , the elm does have some wavy interlocked grain.

The ebony is hard but nice to work.

I’m fairly happy with the result, after I finish shaping the outside and glue it up the gaps will fill in.

Some more rounding and a little drilling still left, ran out of time. Enjoy,I hope.
