Provenance
The tree behind this drum.
Tuart · Antique white
Eucalyptus gomphocephala
A true vintage warmth straight out of the ’30s and ’40s swing era – a soft, creamy spread with an articulate metallic finish.
No shortcuts
Years in the making.
01 – Salvage
The log is rescued
Salvaged, never felled – recorded with its GPS coordinates before the first cut.
02 – Season
The wood learns patience
At least three years of natural air drying – sometimes far longer. Just time and patience.
03 – Carve
The shell emerges whole
Hollowed from the very fibres of the tree – nothing between the tree and the tone.
One of one, made for you
The first of its kind.
Not the last.
Tuart is a world first, still proving itself in trial – ask Paul about being part of what comes next, or commission any of the proven tonewoods.
