O'Connors Irish Bodhran Drum Tipper Beater in Dartmoor Gorse Wood

oconnorsirishcrafts.com

An overview of one of O'Connors favourite materials for Irish Celtic bodhran drum tipper beater sticks - Dartmoor Gorse of Furze wood.  An O'Connors Bodhran tipper in Dartmoor Gorse is full of character with many pockmarks and gouges.  We find these particularly appealing and a marked contrast to a more refined wood tipper.  This one is a beauty and has been stabilised then treated with linseed oil and beeswax.  Despite it's looks it is sturdy and very smooth to the touch so will not damage your Irish Bodhrán drum.  This one we have named the 'Scar'!  You can buy or take a look at more Dartmoor Gorse tippers at oconnorsirishcrafts.com
