I recently went to Afton, Virginia to have some minor work done on my banjo. Geoff and Sherry Stelling were gracious hosts and gave me a tour of the shop and office while I waited. The shop is in an old schoolhouse on their property that they remodeled to accomodate their needs. This was the first time I'd been to a builder's shop, and it was very interesting to see the different stages of development that banjos go through. I thought you might be interested in seeing some pictures of the shop. Bobbi Geyer, Webmaster |
