The wood appears to be from a cut down 2x4. The nail is 3" long. It moves
easily through the center of the two internal "tenons".

Please excuse the ruler, it was the only small one I had.

The wooden "knob" on the end where the nail that has the head was
steamed and soaked and squeezed far enough to allow drilling the
center two and dropping the nail in. Once the wood is released it
will return to its original shape. It doesn't work every time and
you will loose some. Nice when it works. I've made the small
ones, but my dad got be started, sent me one with a 60 penny spike
installed.

That's the exotic way of doing it. Another way is to snap one of two of the
knobs off drill them, insert the nail and glue them back. Done properly, the
glue line is all but invisible.

That's is how I would do it.

Yeah, but my way will pass both ultraviolet and lie detector
testing. It is the same type adventure as the arrow through the
coke bottle.
