I am looking for a couple of round wooden rods... aka. wood dowels in rods. Preferably about one meter (32") long and 5/16" to 1/2" (8-13mm) diameter... any hardwood.

I am also looking for a supplier of extra long spiral wood drill bits in matching sizes.

(Gotta fix some furniture a local "ebanista" who's got no clue made).

If in Santiago or Santo Domingo, please a certified location (as I will need to send somebody even more clueless by to pick'em up for me).


Thanks! ... J-D.

JD,
I've emailed you the last contact details I have for our ebanista. Won't post them here in case he has changed numbers but I've given you his address (in PP) so if you're passing that way you can check - even if he has moved they should know to where.

We know he's familiar with dowels because he used the small ones in our dining table & chairs. :)

Hedelsia in POP has a pretty good selection in their fabric/drapery section

Madeco is a large ornamental wood shop in Santo Domingo.
They have dowels, doweling etc etc. You will also find a couple of places
close by that specialize just in trim. We are talking a warehouse full and
at very good pricing.

Thanks! ... J-D.

Update

Just in case it would be of interest to anybody.

I finally had to get my dowels off e-bay.

I went to visit the Madeco store. Nice store... somewhat incomplete with tools and stuff, but a wide array of woods and wood products, hinges and even sliding and folding door hardware... but NO dowels (at that time, at least).
They have a store just a block North of the West end of 27 de Febrero in Santo Domingo and an other one about 5kms out South of Santiago on the Navarette highway.

If somebody has a little project, I've got a couple 1/2" and 1/4" diameter, 3 foot long dowels I can make available.


Thanks to all who chipped in some ideas and information.
