Any new pictures of this piece would be appreciated. :) My plan was to work on the drum all day today. When I got up, I read your post and kept it in mind as I got ready to work. I grabbed my camera to get my first shots and the battery was dead. So dead, that I couldn't do that thing where I turn it on and snap a picture real quick before it goes dead again. So, I missed all my progress shots for the day because it took several hours for the battery to charge. All I have are these two shots: I levelled and finished shaping the rim Then I sanded the inside of it. I touched up a few outside spots and then put several coats of wood hardener on thge interior on the drum. Thet's the darker looking part in the pictures: I went and bought new brushes and stain this afternoon, so it's finally staining time.

about 4 days, spread out over a few weeks. My arm kept getting tired so I had to stop and rest a lot.
