some pictures of my first custom built set
I  wish I could have built the shells but... no lathe yet, until I build a big ass lathe, Its Keller Shells. These are sizes 18x26 kick, 12x12 tom, 16x16 tom, and a 10x14 snare. These are wrapped with a beautiful Zebrawood veneer (all solid veneer glue), Inlayed patterns are zebrawood/Birdseye/black walnut. Coated so far with 15+ coats of hand rubbed Deft Polyurethane satin.
The rims are entirely hand crafted out of a brown ash and white ash ... true as can be, I was really happy with how these came out. Cant wait to hear them! coated with Minwax natural and several coats of hand rubbed spar varnish.

As soon as I can get the finish completed, and the hardware in hand, these will be thumpin!  The first Alusta Artworks custom set!
