Carving a Djembe out of an Avocado Tree!

- While I was in Guatemala earlier this year, I met an awesome guy named Tor. He has a passion for creating Djembe's from scratch. He hosts a drum circle in a small village on Lake Atitlan every single week.
The turnout and energy of the drum circle is incredible.
While I was down there, he took me under his wing and guided me through the entire process of creating a Djembe! The only cost was the price of the materials. Which, for how good this Djembe turned out, was an amazing deal.
This process was long, challenging & extremely rewarding. I play my Djembe every single day and the connection I have with this instrument, especially knowing the entire process behind it and the connection I felt through the entire process.. well.. it's an incomparable feeling to say the least.
Huge thanks to Tor for taking the time and having the patience to guide us through this process. I learned many valuable lessons from him. Here is one that has still stuck with me.
It's easy to find words which define our reality. I'm quick to tell myself what I can or can't do. It's liberating to take a step back from these words and let our actions define our own reality. Instead of saying "I have always been this way" I now choose to say "Up until now..." Thanks again, Tor
There is NO WAY I could muster that much patience.
haha I definitely was a challenge at times, but absolutely worth every second of it :)
I bought a small one and just decided I want to build a big one on my own because I have no money haha thanks for sharing this process ima start tomorrow.
This is so cool and creative of you to build this is Mateo lol
Mateo! Thank you :) It was great meeting you man. Keep playing that djembe of yours, it's good for the soul.

Las herramientas que está usando, son para concreto y no madera, esto hace que se vea más pesado y difícil.
What type of oil is that and what oils can be used
