In Response To: Material: Carry toggle source? (Chris Menard)

: Any suggestions for a source of toggles to attach to the ends for carrying?

Make your own in an hour or so? Rob Macks did a nice set in maple on his Shooting Star. Check it out (scroll to bottom photos for first link, check details at the second link):

A Seaward Quest I once had used 3/4-inch 45-degree PVC pipe for toggles--ugly but amazingly comfortable. Pygmy sells toggles on its site, and CLC does, too.
