Aside from shaping the nut a bit to get it just right, everything is done.  There is not much to the final assembly really.  The neck is attached to the rim and the strings put on.  The bridge is held in place on the head by the tension of the strings.  Now I just need to learn to play, then I can post some sounds.  Here are some photos of the finished product.  You should be able to click on the photo for a version you can zoom in on. 5-String Open Back Banjo Front5-String Open Back Banjo Side5-String Open Back Banjo Front Closeup5-String Open Back Banjo Rear5-String Open Back Banjo Side Closeup5-String Open Back Banjo Neck Back5-String Open Back Banjo 5th String Tuner Pearl Inlay5-String Open Back Banjo Peghead Closeup Pearl Inlay5-String Open Back Banjo Rim Closeup5-String Open Back Banjo Rim Back Closeup Ebony Neck Heal Cap
