If you're gonna use a pencil sharpener, you might as well use one you know will do the job.

Lee Valley used to sell this item they called "the plugger". It was meant to be used to repair screw holes but I've used it for decorative doweling as in using a contrasting wood dowel to create clock dials on wooden burls. You sharpen the dowel in a pencil sharpener and the plugger reams out a hole to the same taper. It may still be available, but not at LV according to the ad.

Someone I consider a master woodworker once told me that a master woodworker is not someone who never makes mistakes. He is someone who is able to cover them up so that no one can tell.
