Woodcraft Maple Bird's-Eye 1/4" X 5" X 24"

Introducing our Maple, Bird's-Eye drum. Crafted from the finest Bird's-Eye maple (Acer saccharum), this drum showcases a unique and mesmerizing figure, resembling small bird's eyes. Bird's-eye maple is a special phenomenon that occurs in certain types of wood, particularly hard maple.

It is caused by unfavorable growing conditions, where the sugar maple tree attempts to produce new shoots to capture more sunlight. However, due to poor conditions, these shoots are aborted, leaving behind tiny knots that create the beautiful bird's-eye figure. While bird's-eye maple is commonly used in veneer form, our drum is made from solid lumber, ensuring exceptional durability and quality. The bird's-eye figure is most pronounced on flatsawn pieces of lumber, adding an eye-catching touch to this drum. Whether you are a musician or simply appreciate the beauty of fine craftsmanship, this drum is a true work of art.

It turns effortlessly on a lathe, allowing it to be shaped into decorative canes, bottle stoppers, and pens. The versatility of bird's-eye maple is evident in its use in refined specialty products such as automobile trim, jewelry boxes and bowls, humidors, furniture inlays, handles, guitars, and pool cues. To ensure the best results when working with bird's-eye wood, we recommend using sharp tools to prevent grain tear-out. This particular drum is cut from high-quality, kiln-dried stock that has been sanded on both sides, resulting in a smooth and flawless finish. With dimensions of 14" x 5" x 24", this Maple, Bird's-Eye drum is designed to deliver a deep and resonant sound.

The grain runs with the longest dimension, further enhancing the visual appeal of this instrument.
