Someone suggested I install maple plugs, but I >>don't have a plug making device. Lee Valley Tools @ http://www.leevalley.com make their own "VeritasTapered Snug Plug" plug cutters. These plug cutters are far superior to ordinary plug cutters in that they make tapered plugs that you hammer flush into the wood. The plugs don't leave a "glue" ring in the wood like ordinary plugs do and they are very nice to work with. Prices are in Canadian $$ ( U.S. $$ a whole lot cheaper) $12.95 for 1/4" to $14.95 for a 1/2" size, metric sizes also available. For those who have never seen the 250 page full colour Lee Valley Catalogue your in for a major Treat. Lee Valley sells world wide so don't worry about being a tech in the Antarctic - they can ship it to you.
