Drill press. Line up a pointed center (by plumb bob or long drill/rod) directly beneath your chuck center. A dowel center or nail through a board wil do. Drill in from each end with a regular length drill, connect with a long bit in a hand drill. Regular point bits do better in end grain than brad points. Withdraw the drill to clear the chips every 1/2 inch or so.
