Tom, if you are going to go thru the trouble, i suggest that your final outcome have the tines 
nicely rounded and slightly protruding in the front, like Joe Spiers does when he builds harps using the LaVoie 
maple combs. To me, it makes quite a noticeable difference in the comfort of playing.  Another 
example of a finely finished wooden comb is the wooden Seydel 1847.
  If u don't know what the two examples look like, let me know and i'll email you a picture.
