Wow, that is very cool-looking banjo. ::

Nice one banjo!

 

[uperepik]

Good grief, what wood is that?

 

[fishnbanjo]

It's briar uperepik w/o heavy staining, actually it's what the maker calls contrast stain, I achieved similar results with gun stocks when I did restoration work using two different stains to bring out the heartwood and the grain.

OMG.

Wow just outstanding.

What is "briar uperepik"? I googled it and got no hits other than a member on this board. Whatever, the grains stellar, better than the grain on a Michael Parks mirror-finish, which had thought best.

And it looks like a peek of a cumberland stem! WOW what a beauty Banjo!!!...

Beautiful stain that makes the bird's eye grain seem three dimensional, fishnbanjo! Was that an anniversary gift? I love the classic dublin shape, too; enjoy smoking that pipe with some delicious and smooth flakes! Happy smoking fishnbanjo.

That staining/ grain is heart stopping!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Yes, it is. And it's smooth, right? As noted by thomas, it looks at first like rusticated or some sort of relief carving.... A beauty.
