Dang! That is a beautiful piece of art. Very, very nicely done. I had no idea that end grain could look so great.
Mostly side grain. And thank you.
Latz, very nice work! Someday I will have to come over and see your collection. I have some interest in building stave drums but have not had time to really look into it yet. So for now its the simple life of veneer, lol! The segment drum construction is relatively new to me, I had not notice them until recently. Very cool as well, still out of my league for now.
Jeff, you are more than welcome any time. In fact, I have a project I'd like to get a quote on from you. We need to be sure to touch base In Chicago. Funny, we're only 2 hrs or less away from each other and here we'll both drive to Chicago to meet up… Anyway, segment is not hard and I'm sure you can do it. Staves are even easier.
Didn't mean to hijack either, back to business as usual...
