Finished Goat Pops!

Here's the finished product!  Three of the five of this first set are represented here, there are two more larger ones as well.

The handles were made from left over scrap redwood staves from drum bodies. A channel to fit the tang of the drum ring was cut into one side each of two pieces of wood then the two pieces were glued together. Once the glue was dry the handle was cut into the appropriate shape and planed/rasped down to create the final contour. I spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out a way that the handles would be easily removable or even just simply removeable, but wasn't able to come up with an acceptable solution so I just glued the handles to the tang of the ring. If the hide gets torn I can cut the handle off and rebuild reusing the metal ring.

They're a lot of fun to play and I was really surprised by the quality and projection of the sound.
