Handmade Wooden Tongue Drums

$30

Tongue drums are hollow wooden boxes with carved "tongues" of different lengths, widths, and shapes. Each tongue makes a different tone when struck, usually with a mallet. My tongue drums are handmade, and no two are alike. There are a variety of different woods you can choose from including paduak, cherry, cedar, oak, or pine. Each wood produces a difference in tone. There are also different sizes you can choose from, and mallets are included. Woodburning or intarsia (reverse inlay) can be added to the drum for additional customization.

Bring the beauty of nature into your home with one of my pre-made creations or order something based off your own design. My name is Brian Bles and I framed houses for over 25 years. Now I am dedicating my time to creating custom art and furniture.

Living in the magnificent Ozark Mountains of Arkansas gives me the opportunity to discover the beauty of nature and use it in my work. My materials are carefully selected from nature. After that, they are hand washed and sun-dried before I assemble them into the original art or made-to-order furniture that I take such great pride in. I then seal them with a clear coat before they are carefully shipped. I also create wooden tongue drums and one-of-a-kind art sculptures and jewelry.

In addition, I enjoy building custom wood spiral staircase kits. These can either be shipped in pieces for self-assembly or I can install for an additional fee.

Every piece is handmade and guaranteed to be unique. If you have a wood vision or want a one-of-a-kind creation I look forward to the challenge and would love to share my art with you so that you can enjoy your personal vision for years to come.
