I'd suggest that you start with a wooden dowel that's about the size of the hook that you want. A hard wood such as maple or oak will stand up to the rigours of crocheting much better than a soft wood will.

This is the guide that my woodworking partner uses when he's creating the maple hook sets.

I have a little tip too; my hubby makes mine out of the knitting needles....when I have a 50% off coupon I buy the wooden kitting needles and my hubby makes me crochet hooks out of those. (plus there comes two in a pack so if one gets a little off wack there is always another one to try again w/)
