Wood Dowels - What to Look for and How to Find Them
Many people who are looking for hobbies and crafts turn to woodwork. There is good reason for this. Building from wood cannot only be a fun and exciting activity, but it can also be an opportunity to upgrade your house and create interesting new gifts for friends and family members. As you can probably imagine, you will need to know some of the terms and different pieces of equipment and wood in order to get started. You will often hear people talk about wood dowels. These are one of the most important pieces of wood that you will work with. It would make sense first to know a little bit about them.
You will find that there are larger wood dowels and smaller dowels. The kind you pick will depend largely on the product you are working on. The smaller dowels normally come in diameters from ¼" to 1-1/4". Usually, you will find these smaller dowels in birch wood. This doesn't mean, however, that you can't get them in other kinds of wood as well. You will just have to custom order these other varieties of wood. These smaller dowels are great for children's toys and as the axels for small wheels. Looking through different craft books and manuals, you will probably find a wide array of uses for these small dowels.
The larger wood dowels that you will find can come in diameters from 2-1/2" to 12". These pieces are generally produced from stock that has been laminated. These dowels are great for larger pieces of furniture, such as shelves. Once you get into heavy-duty building, you will most likely want to keep some large dowels around your workshop. Keep in mind that because these pieces can turn out to be so large, you will want to leave plenty of time for delivery since they sometimes require alternative forms of shipment.
If neither of these conventional wood dowels are what you need, you can find any kind of custom-made dowel on the right website. This means that they can come in virtually any size and in any type of wood. You can find dowels that are 144" long and up to 12" in diameter. The most popular kinds of wood, besides birch, are red oak, mahogany grill, walnut, and poplar. You can get a free quote online if you are not sure how much your custom made dowels will cost.
If you want to know where to look to find the best wood dowels, you need to find a website that is easy and convenient to use. This means that they will offer many different products and styles in different kinds of wood. You need to look for a service that will allow you to order custom wood pieces and have them shipped right to your house. You will also want to make sure that you can request quotes from the website you use, this way you can know exactly what you're spending. Once you find the website of your choice, you will be ready start building in the workshop.

i need to bend thin pieces of wood and need support?
i need to bend thin pieces of wood and need some kind of support at the back to prevent breaking. is there a sheet metal i coulod use that will support the back and keep its original flatness even after bending to the shape??
if so where can i get a piece from??
nevermind i bought a bending strap to prevent the wood on the outside surface of the bend from splitting. i think its made from very thin stainless steel
If you NEED a metal backing to ensure strength, go to a place that makes ornamental iron railings. They should be able to help you. If you just need the wood to hold its shape, it can be done without too much hassle without any backing:
A light duty steamer can be made from simply routing steam into a PVC pipe, large enough to hold your wood.
Once the wood is steamed (if is less than 1/4" thin, probably 30 minutes is plenty), you have some time to work with it. Clamp it against a form that you made -- not likely metal unless it happens to be exactly the right shape. Just use lots of clamps to ensure there are no gaps.
If you're gluing several strips together to make a larger piece, and they will bend without cracking, you can just use slow cure epoxy between the wood strips and then clamp them against the form. When dry, they will hold their form.
Good luck!
