I believe its called Magassar Ebony.

Getting there. This is like coat #6 and I'm going for high gloss.

What would you guys do for heads on these?

I'm thinking Vintage Emperors all around w/ambassador clear resos (cept for bd).

BUT! I could get a deal on Ambassadors for the tops?

Any thoughts?

These are thin 3 plys and I like a rock sound over jazz but don't know as the bearing edges are rounded and not really sharp cept for the snare.

They look Excellent!Cool1Clapping Happy2

Al. Most. Done (cough cough)....taking so long...must. keep. going.

Your almost there. What a great project. Can't wait to see them complete!

Those are looking nice. Just a little more... baby crawl2

Done!!

She sounds like a dream and the bass actually tunes up quite nice!

Missing a few parts but won't pursue further. I couldn't find spurs for the bass drum and just went with home depot specials! I have the badges but have decided against putting them on for lack of the proper nails and I just like the way it looks right now.

Much thanks to KellyJ for the support and guidance!

Took six months and a lot of $ but I'm going to play it, hold on to it, and pass it on to my son when he is ready.

Patrick, Wow!! first class all the way!!! Job very well done!!Jumping2
