Best way to make draughts?

Hi,

I need to make some draughts for a 24' ships lifeboat. What the best way of making and attching them?

Thanks

Just turn them on a lathe - a length of broom handle would be ideal. Just leave 1/2 wood colour and paint the others black.

you could attach them with a screw through the centre of each but they would be hard to remove - a bit of chewing gum would be ideal because you could have a quick chew everytime you played!!!

I never considered that method, I will consider it though.
