I'm pretty happy with the way the toggles turned out on my latest project. I used basswood and redwood for easy carving, light weight, and good looks. The laminated ones became backups to the whittled whales on my Outer Island.

See: http://mysite.verizon.net/NGC704/newOI/Page_9.htm

Rope connects toggle to boat; 1/8" bungee holds tension so they can't flop around. I think I may be coming out of the shakedown phase on this boat, and so far the toggles are the least of my worries. They're performing like champs, and I'm using them, too.
