swivelsphinx Report post Posted June 2, 2009 I made this drum from a Missouri River kit. I had to get a roll of rawhide thong because there was not adequate material in the kit. The striker I made out of maple, leather thong, and garment leather. The wolfhead design is pyrographed and pigmented with spirit dyes. Small amounts of acrylic were used on the reverse side because the rawhide was "greasy" and repelled some of the dye. I sealed the design with a little anti-rain sealant. This did not seem to affect the sound of the drum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
