Kermit’s Banjo from The Muppet Movie

[BingoMaru]

Hi-ho! So I’m going to be documenting my build here, to keep me honest.

I decided to build a replica Kermit poser puppet, sealed at the bottom, and wanted to display him sitting on a log of driftwood. Well, in a very “If You Give A Mouse a Cookie” situation, if I’m going to build a Kermit, I really need to build a banjo as well.

After much searching, and screen shots, and rewatches of the film, I feel ready. I bought some nice finished pine, some birch, some poplar, some stain, and got to work. Looks to me I’ll be making about 5 of these little guys. Just rough cuts now.
