"Hand carve" how to.
This will take some time, so bear with me. I'm sure to alot of you this is old hat, but I also think some may find it useful. It is not that hard, and there are lots of ways to do it, so please chime in if you have better suggestions.
First make a two templates, on for the top and one for the side. Transfer to a SQUARE piece of stock.

And cut out the side profile, leaving a 3D rough shape.

Clean up on a belt sander, and draw centerlines top and bottom and lay out parallell lines each side of it to mark the desired top and bottom widths..............sorry lost that picture but I think it is self-explanatory. Next I make a side pattern determining the shape that separates the top and bottom half of the plug and draw it on each side. This will act as a guide for how far up the side of the plug you want its max width.
Now you need some tools. Some of you guys will just go to the belt sander, but I have trouble keeping things square so I use hand tools. A spokeshave, file and/or rasp, and some sandpaper is all you need.

Something to hold the plug while you work on it helps. Here's what I use. Screw the plug to it with shaped blocks.
