Ah here you go...

http://www.bestbassgear.com/ebass/bass-of-the-week/bass-of-the-week-kauri-bass-made-of-50000-year-old-wood.html

ddrum make a snare with outer ply veneer of 50,000 year old Kauri. Also there are others on a google search who have made solid shell and stave shell Kauri drums. Mine is certainly not the oldest out there! Take the peeee out of DW's Timeless timber drums though!

Oops sorry I seem to of hi-jacked the thread.

I've seen the Timeless timber kits. Amazing drums. I'm still thinking about undertaking making a solid shell snare. Had a few massive ( 100+ year old trees ) cut down in my yard due to being way to close to the house. Some of the cuts could easily make a snare drum. Good solid maple tree.

By the way - I think It's both amusing and awesome that we go from Aluminum to ancient wood.
