Chapter 4: Making the Rails

Maker's Caution















































To prevent "snipe" or "cupping" 























on the end of the rails, you may 























want to plane the rails to 























thickness before cutting them to 























length. That way you can cut























off any cupping or snipe 























before fitting the rails to the 























dulcimer.
