Couldn't find one at the store either. This was pretty cheap. Unfortunately, I don’t have a plug cutter. Couldn’t find one at the store either. This was pretty cheap.

I also like doing contrasting plugs for some added flair. I usually just use a plug cutter and cut them out of scrap from whatever project I am working on that way they match really well.

They were flat plugs, not the rounded kind in the picture above. Oh, forgot to add. They were flat plugs, not the rounded kind in the picture above.

That's too funny! I just bought a couple bags of plugs last night! I have a project where I've been countersinking tons of screws into 3/4" birch plywood. Too much work, I know, but what I did was glued the plugs into the holes, took matching plywood scrap and peeled off the top layer. Carved the thin birch layer into circles, sanded down the plugs with the dremel, glued the birch layer onto the plugs. I'm going to sand it all down tonight and see how it looks. HA HA!
