Mesh pegs or spools, on which the netting is worked, are best made of hard wood … A considerable number are required if various nets are being made, as the size of the openings in, or meshes of, the net depends entirely on the size of the mesh peg employed. Cylindrical or round mesh pegs, … are much less convenient than such as are flat. The edges of flat spools should be quite straight, otherwise the meshes of the net will be of unequal size...

CONT

... you can see the basic set up of a traditional jamb peg faceter. The spinning lap provides the grinding and polishing surface, the wooden "dop" sticks to which the rough is adhered, serve to hold the stone in position as various cuts are made. The angle of the cut is controlled by placing the dop stick in a particular hole, the depth of cut is controlled by the amount of time the piece spends in contact with the lap and how hard the facetor presses down on it, and the radial position is controlled by removing, slightly rotating, and reinserting the dop stick in its hole as each different cut is made. Most stones that are cut on such equipment are referred to as "native cut. "

CONT

Although modern highly engineered faceting machines have replaced jamb pegs in much of the world, these older systems are still widely used, and a substantial proportion of the gems in commerce today have been cut by them.
