looking real good. I got this maple shell 48-52 wfl from a forum member. it was stripped when I got it. finished it with tung oil. its also a 12x17. its the bass drum in the other pic. one of my fave drums. ive also got a mahogany finish 60's 12x17 tenor tom. these are great sizes. yours is killer with the tube lugs.

WOW, Mike! I hope mine turns out as nice as yours did! Thanks for sharing. I needed the encouragement.

Got the tenth and (hopefully) final coat of hand-rubbed poly drying. Can't wait to get this back together!

Wow, that shell is looking nice! I dropped the 17" Fiberskyn batter head in the mail today. You should have it by the end of the week.

Mike

That's great, Mike! Thanks again. I really appreciate you!

I guess this will be the last pic until I can aquire the rest of the parts for this. Still need the top hoop with hooks and t-rods, the key holder, and a butt plate.

I think i have a 17" triple flange NOB hoop tucked away. If your interested I can did it out and maybe you'd want to use it on the drum until you find the right hoop. Let me know if your interested. Jerry.

Thanks so much, Jerry. Another forum member has the parts I need. The problem is I am "Sunday broke" and can't afford to pay for them at the moment. It would be great if I could trade some stuff for the parts... That would make my wife happy, as well! Kiss

Mike, I picked up that head today from the PO. It is perfect! Thank you SO MUCH! I owe ya!
