Am trying to build some in the near future

Bongo, thanks, I'm learning new stuff each time I build a new drum.
Dende : You just have to come in Paris !
KevBo : It's steam bending.

Posted: Sat Apr 28, 2012 9:43 pmWow, those look great! Beautiful wood, beautiful shape!
I would really like to build a conga myself, but have a lot to learn first.
How do you shape the staves? I would think a router and a template (?).
Do you have photos of the work in progress? I'd be very interested!
Cheers
