Well Done, Awesome Work !!!! :D

How did you preserve the log to keep it from cracking. How long was the tree down?
-
wish i could afford a lathe that big and had a floor to support it
-
awesome! great drum! i just hauled a huge log up to my house today and plan on making a drum out of it. i was going to start shaping it with a chainsaw then switch to a lathe. im buying a shopmaster (really old one!) and i was going to modify it to turn large (16-20") diameter outboard. have you ever seen a steady rest that sits on the floor? im thinking i may need something like that.
-
im wondering how much you would charge some one to make them a drum just like this but with a 12" top insted of 14... ill send you a msg with my info...

Blair, you amaze me! That is one hell of a tree trunk, and your lathe handles it so well. Definitely kept my attention through the entire video. Thanks!

trying to turn a drum outboard with s floor stand steady rest will be deadly. The rest must be solidly anchored . Any slippage will cause big problems. You might try building a bed extension on the outboard side to hold the rest. Good luck and be careful.

Glad you found it. They are fun to do, but pretty physically demanding with the 4 foot tool. Good luck on the show circuit.

Im a Traditional Djembe maker and WOW! you did a great job! How or Where would I Strat to make a Djembe this way?

Unfortunately, it takes a very large lathe to start: which can be very expensive. It also requires a fair amount of turning experience before taking on such large work. I suggest you try to find some wood turners in your area for advise. Where are you?
