Photo 4) Faux-painted burl wood barrel drum and pow wow drum. Artistically this is one of my hardest finishes. Since it is difficult and no two are the same, I enjoy doing these. This simulated burl wood is a favorite of the many interior decorators that I work with.

This is absolutely one of the best drums that I’ve made. It is a 46" barn wood pow wow and 20" deep. Solid and massive with an incredible sound. I worked hard to make this drum ring to the belly.

Frames drums.  Alaskan Yellow Cedar frames with horse or elk hides.  Click here for prices.  You build your own kits available with video instructions.  If you live in a more humid climate than the Rockies (which is most probable), the kits will work better for you.  Frame drums are susceptible to moisture.  Their birth in the climate they will live in will make for a better drum.
