Woooow, it looks so great Mr. Hicks. Is there any chance for us to hear how it sounds?

Hi Cliffton, I was wondering if you could explain more about the process of making a banjo rim. What do you do exactly?

I have used and do like Nylguts but lately I've only had "La Bella No. 17" nylons (which are the cheapest on the market right now). The hide is Jamaican goat skin from Jeff Menzies and, yes, Black Walnut stain!

Let me guess. Nylgut for starters. Cow hide? Black Walnut stain? It looks perfect.

Man. The wood I just bought off my guy in the Northwoods can't get here fast enough. This might be my favorite of yours so far. Great work!
