They will look really nice in your church Bill!

COMPLETE!! (Well almost: I've misplaced the B/W badges I have!)

1980s Ludwig Rockers (4 ply clear maple interiors)

16x24 BD, 16x18 FT, 13x14 20-lug Tom

All original hardware & rims (except the spurs -- generic out of my stock)

Heads are what I had available

Natural Cherry PSA veneer finish with gloss polyurethane

Came out pretty good except for a couple of places on the BD that the veneer didn't stick very well -- but you have to look for those places!

(I found out AFTER I installed that the manufacturer does NOT recommend applying to bare wood; there needs to be a sealer applied first! Next time I'll do that!!)

Thanks! The "Jet" set is next. I've pretty much decided it's getting this PSA veneer stuff. Maybe even the same natural cherry. I wanted to do a set with the PSA veneer kinda as a test BEFORE I put it on the Jet, so as to work out any installation "bugs" (which the shells WILL get a sealer applied first!). This set was just sitting around and I had all of what went into it already in hand, so it became a logical "test subject."

I've got a pair of natural wood hoops (that I recently bought from another VDF member) that I'll be using, which I think will make the Jet look much better. These babies just got what they came with...
