    As a woodworker, you sold me on the concept of spending way too much time and money on some thing that you can buy for a fraction of the price 😅

    pro mark used to make a pair of sticks out of japanese white oak, the 777s. they still make a few kinds out of that wood but not the same profile i like. i work at a sawmill so i have pretty much an endless supply of wood and you don’t need much to make a pair so i’ve been setting aside oak butch and maple to make some when i finally get a lathe. i’m excited to mess around with different profiles. i’ve thought it would be cool to make a pair that’s just the two butt ends up the stick because a lot of the time i play with my sticks backwards anyway. i need to find some japanese white oak too to make some. one of the reasons i liked those pro marks so much was because of how heavy they are. playing hickory or whatever kind i’ve been using just isn’t the same. and i blow through a pit in like three songs. great video you mentioned some things i hadn’t thought of, the sanding with the grain is a good point all the other videos i’ve seen they just sanded it on the lathe

    I make mine on a lathe 18" long out of Oak or maple and then brush on water based verathane diamond hard finish 3 coats light sanding in between coats,best sticks I've ever used and you couldn't tell the difference between mine and store bought except the length which is Ideal because it's the exact distance from the tip of my middle finger to my elbow,great for leverage and bounce,try it!

    Cyanoacrylate (super glue) the best drumstick finish and repair substance I have found.

    All drumstick companies sand the stick in the lathe so it can't be a bad idea.

      You would just need to taper down to a really fine sandpaper... Like 1000 grit

    I’d rather stick with your method. I actually hate buying sticks from the store..great!!

    Is there any kind of drying process you need to do if you're starting from dowel rods?

  • @lw2411
    @lw2411 Před rokem

    Nice. Have you considered a CNC lathe? Would drastically reduce time and would increase consistency…?? The upfront cost would be quite a bit but eventually could be worthwhile

    • @lw2411
      @lw2411 Před rokem

      Hmm just looked into the prices of CNC lathes…. Maybe a tad pricey haha
