Hi Everyone... I'm posting pics of my first Gourd Banjo build in a photo album on my Facebook page if anyone is interested.

Note: SHE IS DONE! lots of pictures and a newly designed tailpiece.

I posted photos on Banjohangout in a photo album this morning.. but they seem to have dissapeared.

Here is a link. https://www.facebook.com/drewnelsonmusic/media_set?set=a.10151759099684055.1073741828.753824054&type=3

Happy building.
