Stop buying dowel pins at "big orange"! These are brand new, ex lumber yard stock, birch dowel pins or pegs, 1/2" x 2", spiral cut and tapered on the ends. Get online prices without messing with the internet. $20 for 100 pcs, $40 for 250 pcs, or $$60 for 500. These are in Bonny Doon near the airport. I also have dowel rods in sizes 1/8" x 36 and 48" listed. Email me with questions or an appointment to see and purchase.
