My first thought too, Ken. I worked in food processing, therefore stainless steel everywhere and this shape bolt was common. If not the exact shape, very close to it but I don't remember nibs under the head to help hold it in place.

Looks to me that the bevel on the head is a greater angle than typical bolts. Is that the part that causes the widening of the feather board to fix it in place? You might carefully experiment with other bolts with beveled heads that don't exactly match the angle.
Rustic? Well, no. That was not my intention!

Why couldn't you take a shorter bolt and weld on and extension of threaded stock? You would just have to make sure the weld is well below the needed area of the thread.

Funny, I have had Jessum send me free items such as this, paid for shipping only.
How does that go about honey or vinegar?

Seems like the simplest would be to machine the head on a carriage bolt, and TIG weld bumps for the ergots on it, then grind the weld dollops into the shape you need for the ergots.
