Hi Ron, Thank you for the very specific data on wood. More informative than what I said. Knotching is like knots, knowing, knabe and other "k" type words. :) I remember now, Barfendorfer notches so the notch is at the tangent is at the tail side of the pin so that sinking makes the termination at the center of the bridge pin. So, the wood they use is softer than what I would like to use for myself. I am not surprised about the bridge needing recapping. Have fun making all those little loops. :) I do have a question: does density necessarily equate to pin holding and suitability for bridges? How would some of the other exotic woods work, lignum vetea, ebony, rosewood? Have a goo'day. Newton
