Drum Table: Materials List and Cut-Sizes From "Wood Works" episode WWK-612

No, it's not a musical chair; it's a musical table. The drum table has a deep, resonant sound created by the upper and lower "skins" made from 1/4-inch maple and a sound-hole cut in the bottom surface. The legs and body are made from African bubinga, while the top is a thin sheet of maple plywood.
