Few years back when I was in high school I made a purple heart striker with a pine knob, and it sounds pretty good, or at least im happy with it, especially it being my first. Now I widdled down a piece of cedar over the past couple weeks and hit it on the belt sander today, just the tip, to make sure I could get a nice sound before I finished up the dressing on the handle and all, and guess what, it sounds like hammered dog shat. I dont make strikers for sale more just for fun, but thought this would be the best place, for critiquing. Anything I did wrong or could do to salvage this striker? Its lil short but thats ok with me if I can get it to sound decent.
