Hi Turner,
Thanks for your well wishes! I’m finally getting back to work.
I’m sorry about your issue with the pegs.
I normally would double check each peg for fit but it’s possible I did not.
The wenge pegs are slightly bigger than the maple pegs and require a slightly larger hole. So it’s also possible I drilled the wrong hole size.
That being said… if everything is correct: the fifth peg should fit if I did everything right- is this the peg that seems to work properly? If not, don’t force it.
If it’s just the 4 pegs at the peghead that are a problem, you might be able to work them in. The peghead is forgiving here and may require nothing more than a bit of pushing and twisting.
Is there any finish/varnish applied? Are the pegholes clear of varnish? It’s important the pegs are clear of varnish also.
When I hear back, I can offer the next step of care. I can send another set of wenge pegs and make sure they are on the smaller diameter. I can also send a set of maple pegs, because maybe I drilled the wrong holes. I will also give you a refund on the wenge pegs cost.
Thank you
