: Made mine with very similar wood blocks. Just used a 2" spring
: clamp to hold them together. For the hatch covers I will be
: adding a piece of dowel inside the loop. The pic here is just a
: dry fit. All surfaces still need varnish. The dowel provides a
: nice detail plus allows for a better grip without making the
: loop so big as to get a finger through it.

The dowel-in-the-loop idea sounds good. Might want to coat the dowel with epoxy and slide it into the loop while the epoxy is still wet. That should both seal the wood, and stick the dowel to the inside of the loop, so it doesn't fall out.
