Well folks, Nick has finished with the Poly coats and he plans on doing the Matte this week. Hopefully I can pick them up at the factory in mid April.
I will continue posting pics as the build continues.

The shells sound amazing. I just picked up a 1990 Horizon kit on ebay. I wrote Nick before I bought them to see if he had similar sizes still in stock. He told me he was all out of 14" shells, so I picked up the used ones.
Great color choice combination. Nick is awesome for sending you the in-progress pics.

Thanks Rob, I wondered who the lucky dog was for getting that kit off the Bay. I looked at those also, just could not justify adding another kit to the stable right now (tax season).
I asked Nick numerous times to verify that all 14" shells were gone and he was 100% sure. They have not had a 14" shell for a few years. With these shells all being NOS, they are already seasoned and I can't wait for my kit to get finished. Nick says I can pick them up at the factory the middle of April.
Well worth the 12 hour drive.

Great looking shells so far.. Finish is kind of leaking onto the edges a little bit, might want to ask them to fix that.

Thanks Russ, this pic is right after they pulled the paper off the inner shell surface and before the rough cut of the bearing edges. Once complete the finish will be off any of the finished edges.

Stacks.. did he stain the insides also ?? Nice little touch .. if so.
No Stain on the inside Artstar, some of the stain bleed thru but the inside of the shells were taped and papered. That will come off once the bearing edges are complete. That is the natural maple inside, these shells are over 20 years old. That is one of the side benefits of having this kit made, the shells are already seasoned.

Those are Horizon shells, right? If they are, then it's not a finish or maple. It's the mahogany inner ply. The magic of the Horizon shell. Makes the tone warmer to contrast the harder maple. Awesome drums.
....and yours are twenty years old and brand new at the same time. Wow.
