Very nice work there. How do they sound in relation to each other?

[Timekeep69]

The oak snare is very loud and has a nice crack. The stave shell is about 5/8" thick.

The 6x14 poplar shell is lower pitched that the oak shell, has a pretty decent crack.

The 5x12 of course is the highest pitched with an incredible crack.

Ah dude.. meant to shoot you an email about getting those stave shells for you. Who'd you get those from?

[Timekeep69]

I'm still interested in those.

That's a JTP shell.

What is the stain on the top shell?

I'm looking for something ALMOST that orangey when I start in on my eventual project, although I aim to go satin, just a stain, and then oil over it.

Regardless of my plans, those are all beautiful drums.

Thanks to all who have responded!

What I did on the oak shell was I stained the shell red, let it dry, sanded it a little then put a coat of orange stain over it.

It turned out pretty cool.

Nice work !!!!!! Where do you get your badges made? I am building a few snares myself and would like to have some custom badges made with my name.

Thanks
