MBS has manufactured vent pic holders, you can look at their catalog for ideas. Or simply hand bent staples carefully tapped into undersized holes, fitted to your pick. Stay away from square wire picks as they are hard on touch holes. Often a feather was used. BJH

Originals often have two wire U shaped nails driven in the stock under the cheek piece.
