Tent slips keep the tent ropes tight and the tents sturdy. The peanut-shaped piece of wood is threaded into the tent ropes, then angled and pulled tight.

The peanut shaped tent slip measures approximately 5.5" long, 1.75" wide, and 1" thick. Stained with Linseed Oil. 

Per military specs "Tent slips - To be made of cherry, birch, or other close-grained and suitable wood. For wall tents, 5 1/2" long, 1 3/4" wide at each end, 1" in diameter in the middle, and 1" thick throughout, a hole at each end, 3/8" in diameter, to receive the tent cord."
