Beautiful work! It's funny that, just like wood bows, once you see one you immediately formulate a plan to make one yourself haha.

That is very cool. The cookie tin banjo got me started thinking, now this. I have to do it now. Then something to make a resonator ...

One thing you could do on you next one that I have wanted to try is just fret the cowboy cords.  The fist five.  Everything else bare.  If you needed held figuring spacing just give me a shout.  I miss luthiery sometimes.

koan go on youtube and do a search if you want to build a cone I think you want it more rounded thru the bottom, for $15 you can get a nice pickup at c b gitty online, find an old amp at a yard sale and your set, bed pan guitar sounds pretty bad a$$ to me ;)

Unfortunately i didn't get to smoke them JW :(

Mine is fretted with inlayed finish nails. I've been meaning to make a nice antler bridge instead of the piece of dowel that is there now, i better get on it.
