I seem to do a lot of shelves, etc that use wooden buttons to cover the holes for screws. Finishing these buttons has always been a hassle for me.
Now, I suppose everyone has an easy way to do it, but I have never seen one in the tips section of magazines........so........here is my tip.
Simply drill holes for them in a scrap of wood, push them in just tight enough to hold, and stain and finish them easily. No more trying to hold them individually, or rolling them around on the bench. A couple swipes with a stain rag, or brush and they are done.
I think I will submit it to Woodsmith. Maybe I can win a new router or something.
