"Thanks Dave Lynas", not sure what type of wood the neck is?, as stated above it was also rescued from the kerbside pickup day, it's obviously a hardwood, is easy to work with and looks great when cleaned up, and still have enough for a few more necks.

The pins are actually 'Piano Tuner Pins' from my old trusty recycled Piano, I acquired a few years back and still have quite a few pins left, installation is simply a matter of, in my case, drilling a 6.5mm hole and screwing them in, easier to use on an angled Headstock so to get enough string angle to the Nut, not the case here!, but by a bit of thought applied when winding on the strings I did get enough angle.

Tuning with my $1 ebay "Piano Psaltery Tuner Tuning Key" can be a bit touchy, as only a small amount of turn is necessary to adjust the tension, but have found that they do stay in tune far better than most of  the usual Machine Heads I use!!       :-D

I love the neck too. Zither pins? How do you install pins? I've not done that before.

"Thanks Jim Morris", didn't know whether to highlight the bolt hole looking eyes or not!, but! couldn't help myself, but! there is a similar eye hole piece from the other end of the board.
