This 2005 beater has a purposefully natural look. The beater head is a beautiful tan rabbit fur. Tan suede follows along the shaft. There is a wrapping of jute followed by another piece of matching rabbit fur. The remainder of the shaft is wrapped in tan leather with matching beadwork of wood and glass.

This beater has a thick rust-colored suede head giving it a more aggressive sound. Thick deerskin follows along the shaft. Some feathers and beadwork hang from a piece of suede lacing followed by a wrapping of jute, a wrapping of beadwork and a wrapping of brown suede. A piece of reddish brown rabbit fur follows and the shaft ends in brown suede. SOLD

The beautiful beater above is decorated with brown/gray rabbit and a striking (pun intended) cream/gray coyote fur, top grain brown leather and grey suede, braided jute and beadwork on the shaft, and more beadwork hanging from the handle. Note: This beater is not for sale. It is my personal beater.

Spotted rabbit fur with horsehair braid, four different suedes, and beadwork on shaft and handle make the beater above very distinctive. SOLD

btrdenim2.jpg

My denim beater! Light blue denim gives the beater head a sound that's somewhere between leather and fur. The playing head is tied off with soft deerskin lacing followed by some brown Italian leather. Some very simple beadwork hangs from deerskin lacing in the center of the shaft followed by a beautiful piece of brown rabbit fur, blue hemp lacing and more denim on the beater grip.

Black Leather

The Harley. The beater above was a challenging design. Top grain black leather, black feathers and beads with just a touch of color. A friend suggested that this one would make an excellent stocking stuffer for anyone into leathers and whips and such...sorta lends another meaning to the word "beater", doesn't it? ;-) It's a beautiful piece with a very loud voice. SOLD

btrleath2.jpg

White leather and four furs! Begin with a white leather beater head tied off in deerskin. Add three pieces of rabbit fur...white, medium gray and dark gray. Wrap shaft in deerskin and add a thick hank of tan coyote fur.

brown.jpg

White rabbit fur is complimented by thick brown top grain leather. The grip is done in thick brown suede. Some simple metal and wood beadwork and feathers hang from suede lacing in the middle. The smaller piece of fur in the center has a light touch of grey. A subtle and beautiful beater.
