Hey gang.
Got some work cut out for me with this one but I got it at a decent cost I think.
I'm a newbie still SO..
Someone (thing) did a bad stain job on this. I wonder if they were going for a leopard print? I plan on sanding it down and re-stain in a dark red finish. Cool Dude
Problems.
I've never done a sand down and re stain on anything and need the low down. Should this be varnished as well?
Some of the lugs are stuck (stained) onto the shell...um...paint thinner? I don't want to damage the wood underneath by prying.
The wood is maple I believe and the shell is in great shape. Would a dark stain work on maple?
Any guidance is really appreciated. I love deep snares and this will be for my kit and it's a cannon. I've only played on 6.5 or less so I'm super Jazzed (but won't be using it for Jazz) -wink wink...nudge nudge.
Cheers!!Walking
