I remember seeing a neat article in FWW recently (past year maybe?) on plugging screw holes with a square plug, as frequently seen in arts & crafts style furniture. It featured, basically plugging a round hole with a chisel carved square plug , which sat just proud of the surface. Now I can’t find the issue. Anyone know which one it’s in? Thanks, Gary

D,
Issue 185 - Roger Heitzman: "A square peg in a round hole".
I was just reading the article last week, begining to plan the details of a long-delayed Greene & Greene desk.
The article is also here in Knots, as a downloadable pdf:

Lataxe, Thanks much. Gary
The last ones I did I used a mortiser to square the top of the hole.Then cut square ebony plugs.Cutting the rounded facets was the worst part
