Mike calls about ten times every day....just in case I find something good! :-)

that is quite the beauty. More than a drum, historical art piece. I would think whoever did the work would of or might of signed it. Any name or initials inside?

wow either way amazing drum. Hope you can find out more about it.

Thanks for sharing.

I looked inside but there was absolutely nothing written. Glad you enjoyed seeing it. That is the beauty of the forum. You're never too old for "show and tell"!

wow what gem it has to b one of

Mark,

That is an amazing work of art! I hope you post its history and background on your site if you have success researching it. It must have been a custom made gift or created just to display inlay artistry. The only example I've ever seen of such detailed inlay was on a rope-tension drum. Congratulations on an exceptional acquisition.

Another totally awesome find!

Mark what a great find! The inlay wood is outstanding. Beautiful drum Sir. And from my home state too. Very cool and congrats!

That has to be the coolest drum I have seen yet. The craftsmanship on this thing is top notch, boy o boy what a beautiful thing!
