Thanks Bluesheart!  It is called a 2-in Aluminum Phillips Binding Post Screw.  I honestly have no idea what it is used for, but it may very well be something like a photo album post.  I found it at Lowes for $1.04.  One end screws out (internally threaded).  It works great!  I just set it into the oak a bit and the tension form the strings holds it perfectly.  I also used the same piece only 1 inch on the head as a string tree since my strings needed to be lowered a bit on the head.  Something I will correct on my next build :o)

I like that bridge! Is that a photo album post?? I used to have hundreds of those, wish I would have saved them.
