Show your wood

It is all cut down on the lathe. I do finish the inside, but I don't usually go finer than 100-120 grit with sandpaper, I feel it gives the snare more warmth as opposed to a highly polished reflective surface in my opinion.

Truly beautiful work!

Love the stickers inside. Me and bandmates would come up with marketing slogans for drum products like this:

"Sternum-crushing bass tone."

"Retina-detaching treble projection."

"Ear-impaling rimshots."

"Audience-decapitating cymbal crashes."

"Divorce-triggering volume."

"Cornfield-leveling sound output."

"Stool-softening double bass."

"Genital-bruising conga solos."

"Nose hair-singeing tabla solos."

"Aura-discoloring sitar solos."
 
Maple is good.so i show my wood.

Stunning wood grain on those Cats!
And I'm not a big fan of bd tom mounts but I like that new design.
 
Two of my favourites from Ludwig , both Classic Maple shells with exotic veneers from Ludwig.
African Satinwood - pictured is a 6.5 x 14 and I also have a 6 x 12 that has a very highly figured veneer,

The other snare is a 6.5 x 14 with a quarter sawn outer veneer of Macassar Ebony. This is particularly great sounding snare drum. One of my favourites I own.

My favourite wood shell snare drum these days is this 6 x 14 walnut stave snare from Salem St. drums.
