from searching around the message boards and asking alot of guys, here is how i do it.

find the center if the wood. this can be done on square stock by drawing a line from each corner to the opposite corner. the intersection is the center. on a round dowel, as i was told, you can get a center finder for like $4 at woodworker's warehouse. then, i use a drill press and drill in on each end at the center as far as the drill press will go. after i get a pile done up, i use a hand drill with a long bit and connect the two. it works about 95% of the time for me. i think most guys use 1/16" SS wire. do a search for more answers.
