That's a great look - I haven't seen one with the hair "fringe" before! How does it sound? And does the fringe flip over the skin affecting the "playability"?
The tipper looks a bit clunky for me, but otherwise this is very beautiful work. What's your plan with that straight razor btw.
The "fringe" is stiff, I actualy wrapped it with coban so it would dry laying flat. The tipper is to fat, it's kind of hard for me to carve round objects by hand. I now have a lathe so future tippers will be machine carved and work/look much better. Straight razor was what I used to shave the drum with. Edit - The fringe does not effect the sound that I can notice. I do the same with Djembe's and it does not change the sound.

XMan - I'll pass thank you. For some reason, get that thing ready to shave your face Sounded like get that thing ready to slit your throat. LOL I've got a couple of really nice old straights from Grampa.
