These are really cool builds! This is some very fine custom work too. Really sets you apart from the crowd. Cool1
Ok, here are a couple more update photos. I need o go back and touch up some of the silver flame today then put the first coat of eurothame on it. while it dries I will continue on the green drum.
In the process

Man very labor intensive!!! Silver leaf looks really cool on this one.
Each and every project is a one of a kind and here are some more updates on the silver flame drum.
Several clear coats of eurothane deep here.

No heads or ropes yet but this is what it will look like when the whole thing is together in a few more days. Carry hooks have been added as well as the first few shell adornments.

Thank you to everyone for the great feedback on these projects. I hope you all enjoy watching where this is heading.
Any ideas on what to name this thing?

These are the ears for the drum, they came out looking a little S&M. Hmmm

The safe word will be "Inverted tripple ratamacue" but you must say it backwards "eucamatar elppirt detrevni".
Well with the exception of some design work I will be doing on the calfskin heads on this one you can pretty much call this drum DONE!!!
Here are some pictures of the drum together.
