Ash Ovoid Drum Hoop

Stunningly made Ash ovoid drum hoops for drum making. Available in 18"x14", 20"x16" and 22"x18" diameter, 3" in depth and the thickness of the hoops is 1cm. As they are all individually made items, there may be minor differences in diameter. 

These hoops are made from a single bent piece of solid Ash, with a solid join. The edges have all been rounded , with only minor finishing needed to protect drum heads from damage while making the drum.

The Ash Tree

The Ash is a tree of healing, empowerment and enchantment. It holds profound symbolism and mythology in both Celtic and Norse traditions. In Celtic mythology, the Ash tree represents strength, protection, and cosmic order, with its deep roots and towering branches symbolize its connection to the divine and its role as a conduit for cosmic energies. In Norse mythology, the Ash tree, known as Yggdrasil, is the cosmic world tree that supports and connects the nine realms. Yggdrasil represents the interconnectedness of all things, serving as a meeting point for gods, humans, and other beings. The Ash tree is also linked to the god Odin, who hung himself from Yggdrasil for nine days and nights to gain wisdom and knowledge of the runes. Thus, the Ash tree embodies wisdom, spiritual growth, and the cycle of life, making it a significant and revered symbol in Celtic and Norse mythologies.

By journeying with a drum made with an Ash hoop, we journey with all these powers and strengths between the worlds.

Sustainability

All of the wood for our hoops comes from sustainably managed European forests, meaning that efforts are made to manage the landscape to prevent damage to eco-systems, watersheds, wildlife and the trees themselves.
