[QUOTE="LL, post: 131008, member: 95"] This. ^^^^ A dial caliper will prove it, every time. A prober expansion requires a set of polished rods a few thousandths apart, inserted into a tenon that's been heated so it [b]expands,[/b] which is [b]not[/b] to be confused with the point of [i]overt pliability.[/i] Overall, a surprisingly tricky business to do right. (meaning end up with a factory-like smooth fit, not just a stem and stummel that stay together.) btw, board, Yak used to repair violins. As in those noisy wooden gadgets that can easily cost more than a house. His koan-ish nuggets of philosophy often leave me confused, but his knowledge of wood & related materials always leaves me smiling. 8) [/QUOTE]
