Old frosted head but i think both text and graphics came out well. The question is would there be interest if on a new head and graphics of your choice?

	Paul R says: 5/15/2013 6:38:10 PM Do you mean making a selection of graphics available for people to choose from? I wonder if banjo manufacturers (larger companies) would be willing to offer such a service to customers (especially those who offer mail-order services). There might be potential there. Offering the service on heads for owners' existing banjos may be more problematic. There might be a problem with returns (?). There are possibilities, but there would be issues to overcome. One is the reluctance of the average banjo owner to do any head decoration. Who knows? It may be a huge untapped market - or not. Good work, by the way!
