I personally try to minimize the amount of smooth hard surface area on the inside of my drums to cut down on ringing. In fairness, you can rarely hear the ringing when playing over a band and the fiberglass surface inside may make the drum a little bit louder (or not). These things are difficult to predict, and even more difficult to engineer or control.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to express pessimism, but I think it's fair warning that, (If you're not aware), if you did infact mill those pieces down from that old log directly, you may be in for some surprises down the road, not far ahead in the form of cracks/twisting resulting from shrinkage; color change, as well as shrinkage around bolts for your plates and possible hardware carrosion from escaping moisture from the wood.
