Hi,
There’s several projects. Here’s one: https://woodworkingmasterclasses.com/videos/make-table-project-info/make-table-episode-6/

There’s an oldish, short video on WWMC called ‘Turn-Buttons’
where they are made in pairs from one piece of waste. It tends to revolve around getting a precise split in the right place from a compliant bit of wood.
There are other methods: for example I cut them in sets across the end of a board; mark and cut a long rebate of the required depth across the end then mark each out, drill the holes and cut across and down wards. You’ll get about 6 x 1 inch wide buttons out of a 7 inch wide board. Repeat it all for a dozen and so on
There are many ways to do it… depends how many you need.
Good luck
