Just got my aitwood.com 22" counter hoops; 12 ply maple with factory cut inlays. Damn nice craftsmanship. They are so nice I'm considering clear lacquer finish. Inlay will be the arctic oyster ala Premier Co. as is wrap on tubs. The kit has clear heads and interiors are clear lacquered.
I like natural wood when possible and shudder at the thought of painting them black. Anyway some tips on painting from bare wood would be fruitful...Burger Kin Maybe I'll lacquer them, knowing I can put on black lacquer later on.
I have at least 7 bass drums and EVERY SINGLE HOOP SET is black. Well, thanks for reading while I talk myself into this! Time to think ouside the box.
OK, so here's my question: start w/ bare wood 1.sand 2.linseed oil 3.then like 4 coats of lacquer?:confused: Pictures later, having camera issues.
