Cant imagine that it would not have been, never having worked with it I wonder how one would distingish it. Is it large enough to be useful as a peg? if already sort of round and tapered, maybe the forking tines would serve as a knob, and might not go oval as wood does. I suppose it would take more than one large animal to provide enough pegs, makes for a large feast (o several of them). -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
