Finally able to post some pictures and sound clip for banjo I built for my son-in-law. Mahogony rim and Saga kit neck, maple peghead veneer with Montana quarter inlay. Stewmac hardware with fyberskin head. Five star 5th string tuner and Deering Goodtime tuners from my Crow. I made the 5/8" bridge from walnut and used my Deering tailpiece. I also installed spikes at 7, 9 & 10. Don't worry, no Goodtimes were hurt during the making of this banjo...my Crow has received updated parts. My son-in-law has never played an instrument before but has shown interest in the banjo lately....so I hope he likes it.
