I don't have this and haven't seen it used.  If anyone has
and tried it, I would be interested in hearing their results
also.

My concerns for its use would be the following:
Not enough cambial contact to make a good graft.
Grafts usually require some degree of pressure to graft together.  I have 
doubts on how you would generate that pressure. 
Pencil sharpeners (and we have one) rarely make as even and neat a cut as 
shown in the picture.

I found an odd little tool in the Lee Valley garden
tool catalog. I though some of you may know more
about.

It's called the Plugger. It is an intersting idea, but
I dont know enough about grafting to tell if this is a
workable idea.

Anyone have this tool?
