From woodwright/examples/cuts.py, which imports the names it uses (see From an example to your own design):

def drilled_rod(length: float = 200, stock: Stock = ROD_OAK) -> Assembly:
    """A rod with a cross hole through it near one end (e.g. for a peg) and
    a blind hole into its other end, on its axis (e.g. for a dowel)."""
    asm, rod = _rod("drilled_rod", stock, length)
    rod.cut(Hole(rod.top_face, 8, at={rod.left_end: 25}))
    rod.cut(Hole(rod.right_end, 10, depth=30, point=118))
    return asm
