RV.100421.2 Steam Bent Solid Maple Shell, with Maple Reinforcing Hoops 6 1/2" x 14"

Ron Vaughn Steam-Bent Solid Shell, 6 1/2" x 14"  Maple, with a little light Birdseye figured area.  Reinforcing hoops are maple, (see images). Sanded/finish: this solid shell has been sanded to a 120/220 grit, builder's 'working finish'. Our shells have a light lacquer sanding sealer coat applied for moisture stability during shipping. After applying the sealer, we hand-sand our shells with a 400 grit fine sandpaper for a very smooth surface finish.  The drum builder/owner can use or remove this light protective sanding sealer coat. Builders will typically want to further sand these shells per to their personal preferences.  Our sanding produces an overall smooth working surface for the builder, ready for her or his further finish-sanding refinements and desired surface preparation. Builders should have a good working knowledge of finishes and finish compatibilities.Bearing edges:  (see included bearing edge drawing/graphic shown on this page), we cut a 45 degree inside bearing edge an
