Randall - not a bad idea. My wood is so old and hard that glue refuses to
stick. I think I'll replace with new and see what happens. The dowell idea
is good and if my new wood doesn't fit I may need to go that route. The guy
making the piece makes high dollar custom kitchen cabinets (ask me how I
know) and hopefully it will be perfect.

A wooden match stick coated with a bit of carpenter's (or even Elmer's) glue
works even better. I use that for lots of things, including the sidecurtain
brackets on my TR3A. If you want to really get fancy, you can drill and
glue in a hardwood dowel ... but I've never bothered.
