Birthing a new drum

Toni and I had the honour of birthing new buffalo drums with Giselle. This was much more effort than the previous ones we made as we have to do everything. We cut out the basic shape from the hide and also had to cut the lacing ourselves, last time this was all done for us in advance.

It was hard work but was also very rewarding. Now we have to wait almost a week until everything has dried out before we can test them out. That's the worst part of the whole process!

Really looking forward to seeing how these ones turn out.
