What kind of wood for my new snare?

The site wont let me se the pic.
I know what you mean though, like these Stanbridge hoops:

OH nevermind, its showing up now.
I though you meant fingerjointed.

finger joints will be implemented, as I have the bit, but the person that made those hoops did not. Finger joints will definitely make the hoops stronger.

Do you guys think that it would be a good idea to get a coving bit to make those style wood hoops that connor showed, or make them Yamaha style?

I like the rounded type Stanbridge style hoops myself.

I like them too but they seem more prone to breaking.

i would just go with the solid yamaha style hoops, not the ones like connor posted, but that's just my preference..... or you could offer both as options.

I'm getting a new lathe this month after my birthday. It will be able to accept anything 29" in diameter and under.

Ah, I was just gonna ask you if it would be possible for you to make me a 30x30 kick..
Dang.

¡This Cheese is Burning Me!

Hahaha, I hope nobody asks for a bass anywhere near that size... ¡This Cheese is Burning Me!.

gah, i guess i'll just have to settle for a 28" snare.

Yeah 28" snares are pretty small if you ask me...

How much will the new lathe set you back?

About 1000 dollars.

Woot, router table, fence and another router came in today!

Sweet!

When do you plan on starting building?

Arughhhh!!!! Use a pushblock mate. I don't wanna see anyone loose any fingers.

I've got one of these bad boys:

My dad bought it for me at the woodworking show after the guy ripped a 1/4" quarter piece of wood and had fingers to show when he was done. Very nice tool.

Anyways, I'm interested to see how you mount this on the lathe because I've got one I'm working on (its glued up and that's about it....) and I need to get it turned. I've also got another project that's been sitting in my garage for ever that needs to be finished.......
