Oh, that is a *beautiful* restore on that snare.

The oak tom is pretty neat, but I can see where, unless you want to say - well, the kick is mahogany, the hoops are maple, the tom is oak, and the floor tom is teak - it's gotta go. :)

Is a Slingerland mahogany tom hard to find?

Mitch

Thanks!

Every Slingerland that had a wrap is mahogany first ply under the wrap. Mileage will vary how good they look once wrap removed. Suspect mahogany original finish toms are rare. Don't know.

79 catalog shows Oakwood in lacquer and oil finishes. Looks like this is what you have. Pretty cool finish you just don't see that often.

Here's a 8x15 concert king that I cleaned up. 3 ply mahogany. All nickel hardware. Great sounding drum ! I used a min wax marker to cover up the scratches and left the rest original.

Yeah, it's going back...if they ever respond...

Mahogany finishes are extremely hard to find. I see snares often, but toms are rare, floor toms I've never seen.

But they are so good looking, I have to keep trying. The bass drum is a thing of art.

Yep, hear ya on that. I suspect we're all rootin for ya, I know I am...

How about finding wraped shells that are toast and re-wrap in mahogany venier? Heads should still fit etc...

I unwrapped and refinished these a few years ago.... they turned out pretty good....:)

I'll say they did. Maybe even more like, stunning!

Mitch

Thanks, Mitch....they went to a good home....I hated to let them go.....lots of "sweat equity", ya know.....?
