Maple Drum
Good wood finish for high gloss maple Drum Shell?
I have a Drum Set and the maple shells have 5 coats of semi gloss tung oil on them right now. I want to put something on them, (something fairly easy to work with as well) that will bring the wood to a high gloss.
I was thinking more tung oil but in the high gloss form instead, good idea?
or will it take forever since its a 1 coat/day application?
These shells have some wires and electrical connections on them mounted on the inside that cant be removed, I can take off the hardware on the outside of the shells though and so I only plan to finish the outsides.
any ideas on what to put on the wood shells?
several coats of high gloss polyurethane would work. for a higher gloss, you could use violin varnish. here is a link; http://woodworker.com/cgi-bin/FULLPRES.exe?PARTNUM=849-307&search=Violin
if you have access to an electric polisher or a buffing wheel on a drill, you can produce a mirror like finish, hard as rock.
Hope that helps. Good luck!
