Jaro Petrina 193 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 With a tool. Like modern wood drill. Kind off. Link to post Share on other sites

Alan Longmire 3,391 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 The bits look like a modified version of these: The center point is shorter and the spur is longer, with the center point still a bit longer than the spur. And you won't need the flat cutting part for the circle and dot. If you score an old one (these are a 17th-early 19th century pattern) and cut off the flat, you can use them to make center-hole bone button blanks as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
