086 – Curly Maple Sustainable Series Dobson Banjo

/ / Published in Banjos

This banjo is the first of a sustainable model that I’ve introduced. It features all domestic hardwoods, Richlite details, and minimal plastics (the only plastic is the tuner knobs). It also features my preffered waterbourne “ultra-low” VOC lacquer finish which has an incredibly low impact on the environment compared to traditional finishes.
