Nice, thanks. I will see if such a drum is still being made.

You have to look closely to see it, but there is so much detail here. If you look at the pattern on the main drum, you see that it isn't just the sort of "router" depth clean out, but that every one of those cut outs is tapered, not just removed. So much great craftsmanship there. The vintage mugs based on these carvings are great (I own both), but they miss that extra detail.
