Peghead sketch for inlay on new Lee banjo

Here is the sketch Chuck Lee sent of the rough outline of the peghead inlay. I can't wait to see the finished inlay. Chuck is such a wonderful artist. I love the way he came up with the basset hound floating on a cloud.

If you'd like to see some of Chuck's finished inlay and banjos--check him out at:
