    I actually understand you

    You could make your own or get a tame woodturner to do it for you


    Jarrah endgrain is nice

    G'day gags

    If you want 16mm dowel....bunnings has it most hardware stores with a timber section would...same stuff as in china's link

    Are you talking about slicing thin slices off the end of dowel ? to inlay into another timber ?

    If so a better way to do it would be buy a plug cutter and make your own....then you can use any timber you like.

    cheers

    i presume you want 16mm rod ,but you want the grain to run across instead of along like normal rod , am i correct so far? , if i am you could get a wood turner to turn you up some ,not too hard a task. bob
