52mm wooden dowels?

AbbieH · 2012-03-24 15:01:30

I'm putting together a wooden bookcase. It uses two types of wooden dowels, 30mm and 52mm. Alas three of the 52mm (x 6mm) are broken - my fault, not the suppliers. I've tried my local stores (I'm in Rome at the moment) and can't get them. Are they available anywhere online? Thanks for any info. Abbie

There are sellers on ebay but have you considered getting a 6mm dowel rod and make your own dowel pins? Just cut to length and chamfer the ends.
