 Re: Tenon Threading

"Any smooth, round, metal object will do--just have it on a hard surface and tap it repeatedly on the side that will be glued down. This not only gives the cork more flexibility, it gives it a tendency to curve in the right direction."

Hmm. my perspective differs a little.

First, I would prefer it did not have a greater tendency to curve, because this adds the risk of it sticking in the wrong place around the tenon.

Second, the cork would have to be in a mighty bad state to need this treatment to impart flexibility.

Third, I cannot see how it would "impart flexibility" without bursting many of those closed cells which give cork its unique resilient properties.

I would only consider doing this for a piece of lowish grade or dehydrated cork, 1/8" thick, curving around a 1/4" (?) diameter bassoon bocal!

But you may be in a much drier climate, in which case, the cork should be stored in some form of humidifier.
