She sounds great and looks sharp. Plays like a good banjo should.

    Cool, Dave. Thanks for the info.

    This one is my favorite one Uncle. It now has a blue moon on it. I'm not quite done with the painting. I used cerulean blue and titanium white. It is not like the ultramarine blue of the fretboard and clashes. I will add ultra marine till it relates. The moons are rather easy to carve. I'm using the Dremmel with a router bit. Then the tiny drum sander.

    Dave, I am back and stealing ideas.  I love this one and the ones with moons.

    Thanks Bristol. Uncle, I've got it in D. DaDa. The strings are cheap electric 13, 18, 26, 36. I like the thicker strings. They get nice and tight for sliding. My action's up like Ratty. Sounds very resinous. I'll do a vid soon.

    Bristol, the stripes are helping me a lot to see where I'm going. I'm learning some licks just from the stripes. Like stripe stripe stripe. Or stripe plane stripe. Etc.

    Looks lovely with the two-colour 'board ,

    Wonderful, Dave.   The blue made it even better.   I would like to hear you on this one.  How is it tuned?
