Okay, I am going back to my original plan. I was very inspired by hawghunters walnut thermogloss kit a while ago and that is what it will be. I do think that with a little more practice and patience I could do the burst finish. But the drums were intended to re-sell, so Im going with what I think will be the best seller finish. Right now Im burned out on working on drums but maybe sometime down the road I will get the itch again and do another kit. I feel like the burst finish can be done, so I will have to try it again.
The edges are all done and look real good in my opinion. My only problem is the inside of the shells are ugly. I have removed layers and layers of paint and I am down to the bare wood with some black paint deep down in the grain that wont let go. I had said earlier that I would just paint them white, but now I dont want to. I could spray some clear with golden tint in it to achieve a more uniform color. Or just leave them alone, thats what I did with my Zebra kit and they sound great. Will clear lacquer effect the sound much? Does anyone even care what the inside looks like? Im open for suggestions as I am very close to wrapping the drums and finishing them. But I need a plan for the interior first. Any suggestions?
