The tale of 2 basses that I repaired/restored at the same time. Cutting down a giant 24x24 Cooperman, I used the leftovers to make new rerings for the Cooperman, then used The old rerings/shell to repair and restore a 1959 Atwell bass. It was the very first bass made by Atwell, and was originally made from a Hackberry Cheese Barrel! The grain structure of the finished drum was totally unexpected
