Which of the two was the one that was split? Strange to see timbales' with mufflers.
They turned out great! Looks better with the lighter finish.

Thanks JRichard....
The 13 " was the one that was split in two, the 14" had a broken and separated re-ring.
And I agree, the lighter wood finish is much richer...the finish doesn't look like it was dipped in plastic. And I think it was a nice touch to not have to remove the original hot hide glue either. The owner couldn't find the repaired seam without really, really looking for it. Well Done!

It has been a while since my last post, however, today I returned the restored drums to a very grateful friend. I did manage to get a picture of both drums together before they left my shop. This was a great learning experience for me and has spawned some added interest in continuing to explore new and different styles of drum making . Enjoy the pictures. The Tung oil finish came out just beautiful. I can't imagine ever having to use polyurethane ever again.With gratitude to my friend who trusted me with these lovely vintage drums, Thanks Ron.Glen
HEY GLEN THOSE Are A SET OF VINTAGE WHAT IS CALLED TAROLAS WOODEN TIMBALES THOSE YOU HAVE THERE ARE WERE MADE BY GOMBOPS OF CALIFORNIA BACK IN THE 60'S. YOU DID A GREAT JOB IN REPAIRING THEM THEY HAVE A TENDENCY TO CRACK SPECIALLY IF PLAYED PROPER. SORRY i HAVE NOT BEEN HERE FOR A LONG TIME BEEN A BIT BUSY .

Wow! Great job, those look great! That finish is beautiful. You mentioned it was lemon and tung oil. Was that lemon oil first with tung oil after dry? Do you think that helped to penetrate for a deeper look? If you have a minute I'd like to hear (read) the specifics of the process. Again, great job! I'd love to play those...

Nice job on those Gon bops Tarola (Wood timbales) the main thing is knowing how to play these drums or they will crack again . These are type of timbales used back in 1930-early 40s when the metal set came around. Gom bops created a replica of them in the early 60's and that what that is. Very Good Job in repair. But one thing that you must do to them or they will crack again is replace lacquer to strength them as you use them
