Decapping the bridge - pegs

[John Ross]

Schaff had the shoepegs, last year or the year before. 
I think they came from APSCO, who carried them.
The APSCO number was 511723.
Ask Schaff, they have a lot of stuff that is not in the catalogue.

  Are these plugs called 'shoemakers pegs'. They are great for plugging holes & they were not pricey. 
  It's been years ago and I can't remember where I bought them, but they must be available from
  woodcrafters etc.

    Let me add another question - are you lads and lassies plugging the old
    bridge pin holes left in the root, or leaving them? Particularly where you
    are leaving so much of the root, that would seem to be an important question
    here.


  I plug them with little beech plugs that I got from a supplier long ago. They are about 1/8" square in section and pointed like the bottom of a fence post. I dip the point in glue and hammer them in, trimming them flush when the glue has dried.
