Handmade in the style of the 1840's Kentucky Tack Head banjos.

Authentic old time mountain banjo sound. 

Each created by me by hand with little use of machinery.

Unique finish giving the look of a 100 year old instrument.

Each instrument a one of a kind.

An absolute joy to own and play.

Great value for money.

Building these banjos with their unique sound from a time now passed is an enjoyable labour of love.

Over the years I have developed a tension system to adjust the head just like on modern banjos and a laminated neck eliminate any tension warp.

I take particular care with the installation of the friction tuning pegs so instruments are easy to keep in tune.

All banjos are fitted with Nylgut strings. 

My love of art, photography and woodwork have come together to create these unique mixed media art pieces.

By embellishing photographs of outback and coastal scenes with acrylics and mediums, I take the detail of an image, add texture and colour to create a dimensional individual piece.

In my contemporary mixed media abstracts, the use of foil, wood and moulding mediums with many layers of colour creates pieces that are quite different to main stream modern abstract art.

All works are presented in handmade floating frames ready to shelf display or hang.
