Re: Tenon Cork Fixes

The cork serves as a air tight gasket between the joints.

I have used carbon fibers to build up the 2 wood shoulders on the joint and when they are almost a "perfect" (whatever perfect indicates) then I apply the cork. Music Medic has a synthetic cork joint that looks like it would not compress as much as natural cork, However I have not used that myself,

Another procedure that I have done is to machine down the tenon and make a metal cap for the bottom shoulder and a metal ring to fit over the top shoulder. However I would rather not of take wood off of a tenon and thin tit down.

Just sharing another opinion!!
