A simple device for finding and marking the center of a dowel, my lo-fi version of a similar metal device I once used in a wood shop.
Hold the dowel with one face flat against the raised diagonal rib, and the sides against the vertical walls of the center finder. Tap the exposed face of the dowel with a mallet to score a line across the opposite end, then rotate 90 degrees and tap again to score a second line, forming a cross. The center of the cross will be at the center of the dowel.
