I made half a clave with oak (ie. the fat one with the hole drilled through it and the sort of cut away curve for your hand). The basic striking stick is just an old cheapy store bought.
It is a little dead - but also a little warm too. All in all not bad for a free peice if scrap wood and an hours work.
Its always very cool to make something yourself.
My favourite shaker is a pringles can filled with some kind of mystery lentels from my roomates cupboard I made many moons ago when I was a starving student - why I didn't just eat them I'll never know - but I'm glad I didn't.
