Hi Lutenetters,
I am in the middle of turning pegs for a new lute and I've started
having problems with them coming out of the shaver off-center,
meaning that the shaft isn't centered on the head. Obviously, the
shaft is wandering as I'm turning the peg in the shaver. This didn't

I haven't gotten my lute to the point of needing pegs, but being one who
likes to change gears I've gotten into the peg making while I'm still
finishing the mold. Tim, you know I bought David v.E's course on your
advice. I've made myself a shaver, partly because they are so damne
vailable, because I don't have an endless supply of the mountain ash.

Tim,
I concur your solution, you may remember that I said you might be "pressing
too hard" in the shaver. The "too much wood" is the correlary of the
pressing too hard. Come to think of it, I've had the same problem with an
