October is GOURD BANJO MONTH ! Show the love!

[Strumelia]

I just decided.

Because October is the month of Halloween and pumpkins and squash and old hollow/hallow things, even the O in October is round like a gourd...so...

I declare October to be Gourd Banjer Month !

Let's use this thread to share our enthusiasm for our gourd banjos...

Post your gourdelicious videos, pictures, your love/hate gourd relationship stories, and random factoids about your gourd banjo here!

Anything goes...bring it on!    :D

I stained the skin and neck of the gourd banjo. It probably going to be the last video I will do with this gourd banjo, the skin is ripping at the tacks. It will be a good wall decoration.

Brice, you can't install a new skin, using the same tack holes?

[Brice Alms]

I could, but I am planning on making another one soon. Maybe one of these days I will put a thick skin on it and see how well it works. It will look good over my relic table.
