Project Information
Built these for my 2 young nieces. This was my first attempt at tongue drums. Sides and bottoms are 1/2 inch birch plywood that I found leaned against a dumpster waiting for the trash man. The tops are 1/4 inch red oak. Dimensions are 6" x 12" I had the idea for the shaped sound holes just because I thought they would give a little extra "flare" to the boxes. I think it worked well. Walnut stain and cherry blossom pink stain I had left over from another project. Final finish with 3 coats of Deft. I personally liked the pink top box better. But they both turned out great and sound tons better than I expected them to. I really enjoyed making them and think that there will be many more in the future. Everyone in the family enjoyed them on christmas morning. Especially the 2 little girls that recieved them. My brother was very appreciative also. Considering that his little girl has not stopped playing it since christmas morning. LOL! Good for her!
