Thankx The tool you are looking for is actually a type of screw extractor. I saw it in a woodworking tool catalog like Woodcraft or Brookstone. I had to deal with this when my apprentice drove a pin in too far in a new bass bridge cap. When you plug the hole, be sure and make a plug from quartersawn maple - not a dowel. With a dowel, you would have a real chore trimming and renotching the repair. I would doubt the holding ablility of a dowel too.
