Custom Snare Drums - Ludwig Maple Shells

I had a nice 80's Ludwig 12" x 14" 10-lug maple tom shell collecting dust, so cut it right down the middle, redid bearing edges, made snare beds -  and ended with two 6" x 14" snare drums out of it.  

 First snare is wrapped in silver sparkle with tube lugs and DW throw-off hardware.

Second snare is wrapped in white marine pearl with beaver tail lugs and a maple wood top rim.  This one is for sale for $175.

Both drums surprised me on how good they sounded.
