Timber Framers Guild Forums General General Forum Questions Pegs Too Big

Hello,

Alternatively the pegs could also be made somewhat octagonal with the corners staying at the size they are now which will bite into the wood and give a good grip. A planing board with either a low stop or a hollowed out section where the pegs fall into makes planing go quickly.

A taper over the whole length, like timbeal writes is also good especially if you can leave the but end long for pounding further as everything dries out.

Greetings,
