Techndad, yes those are angled(pointed) toothpicks - i can shove about three in each hole - I was experimenting with them to see how they would work - that board is getting replaced when I redo the inside paneling on those dinette windows. Do you feel the rounded picks are better? Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement! (and I am glad that I am not on making it into the Rot Hall of Fame!!) Actually, I was thinking the angled toothpicks might be better, but I have only used the rounded ones briefly. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in on that. I can forsee using this method in a few places on my Westerner walls. That's why I asked. Cheers, Rod I know the toothpicks are cheap and a quick grab.... If y'all gonna go to that much trouble why not drill the wollered hole to the size of a small dowel rod, use a little glue and drive a short piece of wood dowel in. (this is what I do) Makes for solid wood again. Shuks, I even use this trick when mounting transition strips into concrete, minus the glue of course... I agree with vikx, don't like driving square pegs into round holes but that, it seems, to be what I end up doing. As always, just my opinion, didn't say it was a good one... Whitney
