Each peg is tightly fitted into each hole without any glue!
Should a peg ever break, it'll repair easily with a simple peg replacement.
· Don't put any oils or polishes on the wood, as these will adversely effect your skein's quality.
For the best skein quality, leave the racks unfinished (perhaps sand with 600 grit if ever required).
