Hey all, I'm building my first drum so I thought it'd be fun to create a thread that shows it from beginning to end. I'll update it as I make progress.
The shell was made by Tim Wolfe at JTP Co. It's a 14"x5.5"x.5" ash stave shell - he also did the edges and beds for me as I don't have the tools to do it myself. I'll buy a router table and do that myself next time (if there is a next time).
Here's a few shots of the raw shell and how different it looks with just two coats of tung oil, to start. I'll do 10-12 coats before drilling for the tube lugs, strainer, etc.
Let me know what ya's thinks!
