Making Obsession style split blocks

Hello:
I am in the process of making Obsession style split blocks out of hard maple and am wondering what to use to get a very slightly larger hole bored in to the blocks? I used a 1 1/4" Forstner bit and the poles are too snug. I tried sanding one out by hand and just about died! Now I know why they call it " hard maple"

Thanks everyone for the good advice. The blocks are coming along nicely. Now if I could just find a nice 14.5" mirror!!!!! Lynn
