Are these Pearls Vintage?

From jccabinets

Well this origionaly started as veneer re-wrap anyway so if thats what its going to take then I am fine with that. I am glad to hear that the existing wraps are not glued down reall good. The Ludwig Rockers I did had about two inches of adhesive on the begining of the wrap and then about the same where it overlaped itself. They were very easy to remove. Looks like I might have picked the right kit to play with. Not sure if I will go with birch if I end up with a new veneer wrap. It will be fun to deiced what to do with them. I am thinking on mixing some microtone dyes to get a really deep redish blue color. I will post pictures when they are finished but first I have an old red sparkle MIJ kit to restore.Thanks,Jeff

That sounds like it's going to be a beauty. I've recently begun learning the art of rewrapping and am hoping to get up the courage to try veneering as well. If you're careful, is it a comparably easy process as applying a fragile wrap like glass glitter?

Veneer is easy, if you are doing glass glitter wraps ten you will be fine. I have only worked with wood so far. I have done two kits Pictured below. I too have bee recently attracted to the hobby/art of restoring drums. It all started out about four or five months ago when I decided to buy a bunch of drums off ebay ( I wouldnt do that again, to much $$$).and wrapped with maple veneer. I found that to be alot of fun so here I am again looking for another kit to wrap.

I went to you site, its very nice. Next time I am in town I will stop in for sure.
