thanks again for the compliments guys.

and thanks for the tip benzart, I was wondering just how to deal with that.
no cracks that I've noticed down the sides yet and there wasn't much if any left on the bottom after chiseling a 1" deep circle out of the bottom, so wasn't looking forward to having it crack on my while still in progress. I don't mind if it cracks later but I'd rather not deal with having to carve around the cracks.

I may have to put him on hold for a few days, and work on a small drum i started last year. I was trying to get to sleep last night and something started making alot of noise up on my roof, I tried to make noise to scare it off but it kept on, so I went outside to investigate and a opossum had set up a nest under a tarp I have up there. well he aint there now so his skin may just be on this drum in a week or 2 as soon as I can get the insides thinned down and all smoothed up.

anyway here i am rambling on and on again, so till next time.
