At 3" by 8", these 1/8" thick blanks are sized to fit our two-piece peg head blanks. Use a lightly colored wood like maple sandwiched between a darker wood (almost any of the other hardwoods) or use a very dark wood like ebony against any of the lighter woods.
About Quartersawn Red Oak: The word "quartersawn" refers to the way that a log is milled into planks while in the lumberyard. The result of quartersawing a log is planks of wood that have a vertical grain (the growth rings of the wood go from the top of the plank to the bottom of the plank, rather than side to side). Red oak makes a beautiful looking (and sounding) instrument. Oak is a bit harder than walnut, and is generally used for all parts of a dulcimer except for the soundboard. The red oak we use at Folkcraft is native to northern Indiana.
