Completed. Makes for some interesting angles as the shell flares out from the center band to the bearing edge. The oak has lots of color. It turned out nice.
You may wonder if the t-rods are bending or are not aligned properly. They are perfectly vertical. What you're seeing is the shell's shape, which is not vertical, but angled top and bottom.

This thing's just tough. Very happy with how it's turned out. But it looks as though I may have to finally commit to making wood hoops, cuz I just can't bring myself to put chrome on this drum.
New/old snare for Brian Joseph and his new recording studio, "hive." here in Eau Claire! Details: 14"x5.5" distressed blk. walnut exterior w/quilted maple, poplar, antique pine, straight maple & walnut interior (flat-faced solid wood, NOT veneer inlays.) The interior designs are based on highly-stylized flowers, as Brian is a bee-keeper. Bearing edges are top: roundover outer w/reverse roundover inner, bottom: semi-roundover w/peak outer w/large reverse roundover inner. Non-vented drum. Hardware: Brian wanted to match his old Slingerland studio kit and opted for vintage nickel over brass Slingerland large scallop lugs. All new stainless fasteners on interior. Hand-cut cork-rubber gaskets all around. Hoops are nickel over brass Slingerland, varying types. Throw is nickel plated vintage Premier of England. Snares are German-type. A very interesting build. I learned a ton, and consider it one of my most interesting drums.
