Thanks for the information. I have already looked at sites on how to tie a Mali Weave. I'm trying to figure out how much rope I will need for the drum. I'm guessing 30-50 feet.

I had no intention of drying a damp head by the fire. I was referring to Wolf heating her dry head to tighten it.

I looked at this site for prices on skins. I am thinking about ordering two heavy 14" goat skins in case I mess one up.

Any thoughts on rope? The current rope looks like covered nylon. I would guess any heat and moisture resistant rope with good friction would do.

I glanced at the spirit in the wood site. He charges $250 for a 10.5 x 21 Ashiko. So if I can get my 10.5 x 17 Ashiko reheaded and restrung for a grand total of $60 I will be ahead of the game.

BTW, does anyone have any idea what wood this is?
