Log Drums

Log drums are built over log frames. The walls are thinned from the hollow center to a thickness between 1 1/4" to 2 1/2". Outside walls are smoothed and sanded and may be left plain or painted before a hand-cut hide is stretched over each end and secured with rawhide lacing. Some log drums feature a special lacing that frees the sides of the drum from lacing and provides artisans with a 360 degree surface for painting. Today, traditional Pueblo log drums transcend their ancient roots as instruments of rhythm and function as distinctive display pieces and furnishings. They are ordered by diameter and height. As no two trees are alike and no two hides are identical, you are receiving a singular work of art with one-of-a-kind materials. Time frame is 4 to 8 weeks and possibly longer depending on availability and special orders. Pass down the tradition of the heart beat of the Native American Spirit Drum.
