Title: super thin dowel help
Post by: NinjaCW on September 23, 2009, 05:07:21 AM
I want to make finger Game of Death chucks, and want to find a very thin yet kinda wide (like 5-10 times wider than an inktube of a normal pen) dowel to use. Got any links? (btw, if you find sites, can you make sure they have all kinds of wood, like yellow wood? (if there is one) ) I cannot find any sites.

Check this out... I was bored so I tried to see what I could find.

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to where it says Predrilled "Super Blanks"
http://woodenpost.com/products/pen_and_pencil_blanks.htm

They have all kinds of all kinds of small wood dowels, even Cocobolo!
(Although they are hollow, you could still design a pair of chucks out of them)

Don't know, that's up to you to find out... I was just seeing what I could find on the internet for you. :wink:

Maybe you can email them or something?

Sorry, you want dowel which is sorta wide but also thin? I don't really understand. Try checking your latest hardware store. You could always paint and/or laquor it yourself.

IDK where you live or if you have a Home Depot in your area, but I see anything from like super tiny dowels(like smaller then a pencil) up to like 2 inches+ sizes in diameter there, and everything in between.  But I mean im sure you can find pretty much anything at most hardware stores.
