Homemade fretless mountain banjo. Curly maple with rosewood tailpiece, nut, 5th string nut and violin style friction tuners. Bridge is curly maple with a coconut shell top (the curve of the shell creates a 'moon' style bridge with compensation built-in). Nylgut strings and a calfskin head stretched over a cast aluminium tone ring (a cut-down plant pot!). Tung oil finish. I have another one planned with lots of improvements.
