BigRedX Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Can someone recommend me a source of hardwood dowel approximately 12-13mm in diameter? I need about 4" in total to plug some holes in the body of a bass I'm renovating. The rest of the bass is a light-coloured wood (ash? maple?) although it's going to be sprayed a solid colour when I'm done as the existing wood isn't too pretty, so colour matching isn't that important.

neepheid Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) I got some ramin dowel from these guys: [url="https://www.mantuamodel.co.uk/Wood/Ramin_Dowel/"]https://www.mantuamodel.co.uk/Wood/Ramin_Dowel/[/url] Ramin also known as Gonystylus - [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonystylus"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonystylus[/url] They also do walnut dowel for dark woods. Fast postage if I recall correctly. On reflection, it seems that ramin may not be the most ethical choice, but having said that we've only got wikipedia's word for it.

BigRedX Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Thanks! Nice and cheap too, and even better I notice that there's a model shop in town that stocks their products so I might not even have to pay postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
