For tenons you can't beat cork.

What is annoying and again a Buffet thing is the wavy tenon slot - either machine it flat or build it up to make it flat so the cork strip has a nice flat surface to make full contact against instead of only making contact with the peaks of the waves or having to be compressed into the troughs.

Whatever their logic behind these dreadful wavy tenon slots is, it eludes me. Totally impractical and unnecessary. Modern contact adhesives work best when both surfaces are matching and the best matching surfaces are flat and not wavy.

So get your act together Buffet and also reposition your thumbrest bases up the lower joint by around 10mm so people can get the full benefit from them instead of just bunging them on in the same location the fixed ones went.

If you want to honour your heritage, then sort it out. Same goes for the other pioneering makers still in business who rest on their laurels only because they know they can do what they like.
