Thank you John, I modeled those pegs after the one in the pictures Ken sent. It was a fun dulcimer to build a lot different that building the Prichards. Thanks ken , your picture and tracings made it easier to complete.
Bravo, Kevin! You did a wonderful job of recreating a famous old dulcimer. The pegs are nicer than mine. I'll have to try walnut now, after all the poplar. Congrats on another beauty!
Yep, tough to work,but, the scraper did the trick. I still have about 16 board ft. Of that Walnut, luckily it isn' all that way. Now im bending some 1/4" oak to replicate the case Thomas made for the dulcimer. Kevin......
Thanks, Robin,did you get a look at all the pics, it has a carved peg head. Thanks for looking.
Kevin. ?.
That sure is pretty.
You're welcome Kevin. I think we need to share this kind of information to help keep the tradition alive.

Good work Kevin. That figured walnut is always difficult.
