Morton, could you use something like this to assist in drilling. ? Since I have a lathe, I always chuck the dowel and spin it, Set the bit up in the tail stock and push it into the spinning dowel. (Centered and straight done easy)
Look at this MPC and see if it would help in drilling.

I actually did use a guide to start the holes, I just can't keep them straight. I do have a lathe now, but I need a chuck, then I think it will be OK.
I think these poplar dowels will work out good. They can have some interesting coloring.

Some people just don't like getting dirty...... but gloves really do make it very dangerous around power tools.

If you don't have a lathe, you can make a simple drilling jig by drilling a 2" hole about 1" deep with a forstner bit and then finish with a 1/4" drill in a 2" thick piece of scrap. Slip the dowel inside the 2" hole and your 1/4" drill in the 1/4" hole and drill into the dowel.

I have been doing a lot of searching for a jig to make the 2 inch dowels. The best ones I have found which are simple to make are in "Router Magic" by Bill Hylton. The two jigs are " Dpowel-Making Fixture" and Dowel-Turning Jig. If you don't have a lathe either of these jigs will make your 2 inch dowels.

That works fine Morton. I do that all the time.
