I lost my last poist in the Cellar crash. I finished the Ashiko 2 weeks ago. I sanded it and put on 3 coats of Tung oil. I restrung it with 5mm climbing rope and 2.75 mm climbing rope on the crown. I had to unwind the crown and flesh rings, which are coiled steel ribbons, because the crown ring would not go over the top of the drum with the heavy skin I used. I used black electrical tape on the flesh ring and red electrical tape and Martha Stewarts holiday ribbon on the crown and bottom rings.

Last week before my surgery I tightened it. Tonight I put aloe lotion on the head to soften it and it loosened it. I will have to re-tighten it next month when my carpal tunnel surgery heals. Since I can't use the drum until then, this is no loss.
