Stave Snare

Maple/mahogany stave drum I made for my drummer.

Wow! How the hell do you make a snare drum at home???
- The tricky part is making the jig. It seems like every other guy out there has their own way. I had to figure out what would work using some of the ideas I've seen.
  
  I'd love to learn how. Do you have any resources you could share? Beautiful work!
What a beautiful looking drum. How does it sound?
- Thanks. I don't know how to describe the sound too well. Crisp, slightly warm, overall fairly balanced. My drummer gets a lot of inquiries about it after our sets so it seems to do pretty good. Our last snare was just a basic steel that was in rough shape and kept beaking heads.
