New Arrivals
Below is a list of snare drums in their final stages of construction. These drums are about to be drilled and assembled and will have media portfolios uploaded for your browsing and be ready for sale with in a week or so.
Steam Bent European Beech
This is a 5.5" x 14" single ply with single ply solid bent reinforcement rings. The finish is clear gloss lacquer. This drum is almost ready. The gloss finish is being worked on right now. The final bearing edge is uncut but will most likely be a double 45 sharp. I'm thinking black chrome hardware for this baby. I plan on having this drum completed and media uploaded with in a week or so. beech is a very dense wood similar to maple and it looks very similar. This is sure to be a beauty.
Ambrosia Maple cross-grain stave
This drum is gonna turn some heads. It's a 6.5" x 13" stave shell configuration but the staves were cut cross grain instead of with the grain so the streaking anomalies associated with Ambrosia Maple are in tack around the diameter of the drum. This also allows the bearing edges to be cut on the cross grain like a steam bent shell so it's like a hybrid steambent/stave.
Birds Eye Maple Stave
This drum is nearing completion. It's a 6" x 13" stave shell (0.375" +/- thick) with a nice heavy birds eye pattern. The stock was taken some time around 2003 near Ishpeming, MI in MI's upper peninsula. It has a nice gloss lacquer finish and will feature our 2 layer, steam-bent solid wood reinforcement ring made from the same species.
