569. Bull head drum
Yang Shubao's bison leather is very good, and the Timites are good at this. The cowhide plucked and dried and kept in the cool shade. It can be used at any time.
Of course, you have to use it now. After soaking it softens, cover it on the drum stand to fix it. After a period of time, the drum will be done.
But this requires a drum stand, that is, a drum body and a drum ring.
The drum stand must be made of high-quality wood chips. Originally, Yang Shubao didn’t know how to do it, but now he plays short videos and has many drum production tutorials on short videos, so he doesn’t even have to ask Lao Xiake and others to guide him, and he can do it himself.
In China, poplar and birch are used to make drum stands. Yang Shubao couldn't find these woods in South Africa, so he used eucalyptus trees.
There are many eucalyptus trees in the Great Saint Lucia Wetland Park. These eucalyptus belong to the Myrtle family. Most of the woods are heavy and hard, with strong corrosion resistance and a wide range of uses. They can be used in buildings, sleepers, mineral columns, piles, furniture, agricultural tools, etc., and it is natural to be used as drum stands.
He took people to drive to cut trees. This time he did not go deep into the forest to find the ownerless eucalyptus forest, but instead walked around the edge and saw which eucalyptus tree was cut directly.
The Green Wetland Company has repeatedly asked him for trouble, so he will be welcome.
He sat in the front of the car and waited for the ranger to come out, but a tree was cut down and no one came.
It was too boring that no one came to cause trouble. Yang Shubao asked Terry and Ma Long to continue working here, and divided the tree trunk into four sections to take it back.
The eucalyptus grows tall and straight, and is indeed a good tree.
They finished their work, but no one showed up.
During this period, someone swayed by, but the figure swayed and disappeared. I wonder if the forest ranger was scared away after recognizing Uncle Yang.
The trunks were cut into four sections, so there was no need for Yang Shubao to stay here. After driving back, he began to cut the trunk into wood slices, and then pieced together and inlaid into drum stands.
The wood chips were made into composite wood chips first, which was more solid and reliable. This was what Barnes taught him.
The composite wood chips are spliced and the drum stand is formed step by step.
When Barnes saw his collection of lion claws and lion heads, he suggested: "When you apply cowhide on to the drum, you can install the lion claws on the drum as drum claws. There is also this lion head, which can be inlaid. How powerful will the cowhide drums you make at that time?"
It was a good idea that Yang Shubao was moved by him.
But now Simba was returning from catching mice from the grass. He dug a rabbit's nest and caught a rabbit.
Simba knew that Yang Shubao didn't eat rats but rabbits, so he specially sent the rabbit to him.
Looking at the rabbit thrown on the ground and the shaking his head and tail, Simba was proudly swaying, Yang Shubao sighed and said, "Forget it, I'd better put a cow's head on it. Simba is so smart. If it sees the lion's head, it will definitely have an objection to me."
For the sake of a cowhide drum that affects the relationship with Simba, Lao Yang felt it was not worth it.
The cowhide drum is made in a rough manner, and many treatments are needed later, such as patterning the edges of the cowhide.
Uncle Yang spent a lot of time making cowhide drums, and he didn't go anywhere during this period, or even went to the town, so he didn't know who appeared in the town and what happened.
It was Zhang Jinjie who brought the tourists and revealed a letter to him: "Several strangers have come to the town these two days..."
"It's not normal for strangers to come? There are strangers every day in my reserve." Yang Shubao said casually.
