 Chechen body |
 Pre-drilled 3/8" hole |
Above are two pictures of a custom T-handle tuning wrench that I’m working on. The body is made of Chechen, with narrow bands of Cocobolo on each side, and endcaps made of Olive. You may also notice that the 3/8″ hole for the shaft is offset for an asymmetrical wrench.
Upon closer look at the pictures above, with the great color and grain patterning, you may see why Chechen is quickly becoming one of favorite woods!
I can make custom tuning wrenches to match the woods on existing instruments, or I can make one with of the woods/shape of your choosing. See my sub-site at Archimedes’ Workshop for more information.
Here is the finished product now in my possession. It is a real work of art, and the asymmetrical T works wonderfully for fine tuning. Thanks, Eric.
