Do I see cedar, ash, walnut and the course grain maybe yellow pine??
Looks like you will have the entire musical scale going on.
Just add some skin.

You know your woods!  ERC, Walnut, and the Yellow pine were all correct.  What you thought was Ash I suspect, is actually American Holly.  The color doesn't show as well as I'd like in these little pix, but the Holly looks like aged bone.  Also, on one of the frames, I used Yew heart wood for the spacers, since I had a bit of it on hand, in place of the ERC.

I have built many drums in the past and the frames were always the biggest challenge.  I have raw hide from two moose and one elk that I plan to use with one really thick piece I want to use to make a shield.  I have never used moose raw hide so wonder how it will work.  These drums will be two faced and tall if I can figure out how to make the frames.  Your frames are a work of art and I really appreciate your sharing with us.  Joe

Those are looking sharp Eric!  Very nicely done Sir!  Josh
