Welcome.

Lindale Banjos are handmade in the Lindale Park neighborhood of Houston, Texas. Each instrument I make represents my current interests in the many strange and interesting innovations that have been introduced by makers over the last few centuries and my commitment to producing beautiful instruments that will last a few lifetimes.  

If you see something you like in the gallery below or would like to collaborate on something of your own design, send me a message at info@lindalebanjos.com. You can also follow my current work on Instagram and read about Lindale Banjos in the December 2023 issue of Texas Coop Power Magazine.

Cutting up slats for the next batch of walnut maple core rims. Made a new jig for the bandsaw, real timesaver this one. #smallshop #clawhammerbanjo
Pretty sure I just found a bullet in the middle of my neck blank… maybe they were shooting at the witch… #smallshop #clawhammerbanjo
Found a one eyed witch in a piece of walnut yesterday… #smallshop #clawhammerbanjo
Soak, steam, roll, clamp, glue, repeat. #smallshop #clawhammer #banjo
There's always one instrument in the batch that just won't follow the rules! Gotta do everything three times... if you're waiting on a banjo from me, this is definitely not your banjo, though. Yours is behaving quite nicely. #smallshop #clawhammer
Mahogany just glows... #smallshop #clawhammer #banjo
Something different about one of these... my first lefty! #smallshop #clawhammer #banjo

Notched diamond fret markers in mahogany and walnut! Finally got the process down, but had to build a miniature table saw... its the most terrifying tool in my shop currently. These are going into the next batch of spun over banjos. #smallshop #cl
