I thought I had a picture of a couple but they must be on another hard drive. Never mind, the YouTube channel Pask Makes has a vid on making these and I think I spotted them in use in one of his recent vids so they've held up.

That said, you could shape them with a file, sander, spoke shave, chisel, etc, etc.

Not a bad list at all.Trainee neophyte":idsxn7hb said:I've been lurking on the bog-oak table thread, and MikeG has inspired me, not with the table, oddly, but with the holdfast shown above, and also his gorgeous mallet.
Not saying the table isn't brilliant, because it is, but I couldn't possibly aspire to that. The holdfast and mallet, on the other hand...
New year's list is 1 mallet, one holdfast, and one bench to put the holdfast into. How hard could it be? I am already eying up bits of firewood that may be suitable.
