This banjo case of cherry was made for my girlfriend. She inherited her grandfather’s banjo and needed a home for it as it isn’t played anymore. The banjo is held in place with walnut stanchions. I designed the case so she can choose to display the front or the back of the banjo. There is also a black back panel insert to highlight the mother of pearl in the banjo if the back is displayed. Her grandfather’s name is engraved and was added to the upper stanchion.

Beautiful case, and I like the look of the dovetailed corners and tenons visible on the door styles. A case like that is where every banjo belongs. I hope it is sound proof.

Great Design and workmanship. And the Banjo is a beauty too.
DHS hang your head in shame- banjo’s have a wonderful sound when you hear them live:-) I have visited the BAA Fest for two years running and will be going again this year. That is the Bellingham All Acoustic Festival. That’s Bellingham, Northumberland, England. UK :-)

As a woodworker and a banjo picker, I like everything about this. The simple design of the case doesn’t distract from the elaborate mother of pearl resonator yet the dovetails and lap joints still add a striking detail that draws the eye. And the cherry is perfectly compliments the lighter colors of the banjo – it’s not too light, it’s not too dark. Fine work that is truly worthy to display and heirloom. Congratulations on a job well done.
