Two Mountain Banjo Builds! - "Grandfathers Clock"/"Keep My Skillet Good N Greasy"/"Hop Light Ladies"

Here are two new mountain banjo builds, one of curly maple and the other Cherry/Walnut/Padauk. They have flush fretting and dot mockers to complement them well. Neither one has a metal tone ring or any medal for that matter. Instead they are both glued and pegged together with walnut dowel rods. The raw sound is definitely pleasing to the soul.
For more info on my work please checkout kyotewoodworks.com and let me know if you're interested in a sweet custom rustic banjo!

    wow, blown away by these they're both absolutely gorgeous! That maple is crazy and I love the padauk tuners. Great rendition of "keep my skillet good n greasy," reminds me of leroy troy, even got the banjo flip damn!!

    Thank you much, Ben! I love both of these too. I’ve spent way too much time studying videos of Leroy Troy, doing the flips 😂

    I love the banjos and the picking. So many of the good songs have “I’se a gwine” in them 😂. Get that trade name / stamp trademarked !

    Really nice build Kyle. Love the tunes. That’s a sweet sounding banjo. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Seeger style mountain banjo either. Neat.

    The curly maple against the walnut makes it look like there's actual frets, not flush!
