Making the smaller parts....

I decided to try to turn the pegs from a dark piece of the nut-wood. Not perfect for turning but I don't want to use to much differend wood-types/colors in the instrument.

The only parts remaining to be made are the bridge and the nut.
Time to check if I've got the required strings.
My first setup will be a tuning like the upper 5 courses of the G-vihuela (or tenor-viol) C F A d g
Thus, my spare strings for my tenor viol/fiddle should do.
