Way newer than vintage, but couldn't resist, feeBayed an amazing 7x14 Cocobolo stave shell that dovetails beautifully with my Rogers XP-8 Tobacco Burst kit. Soliciting opinions from the build experts here re: throw off and hoop choices...
I'd like to do satin chrome, but cannot find satin chrome sources: lugs except for EGO's powder coat (?) offerings, and, of course DW's real satin chrome hoops and Mag throw...
1. Throw:
narrowed it down to the DW Mag, Dunnett R-40, Trick GS007, or... the minimalist Geo Way Beer Tap..?
2. Hoops:
Generic triple-flange ($17ish per) or DW True Hoops ($30ish per)? Not interested in cast.
3. Satin Chrome Lug/Hoop/Throw sources?
All opinions welcomed!
