Review on Hardwood Dowels Pack Inches Long by Amy Mcleod

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very slim and ready to use.

Very sleek, straight out of the box. They take paint and stains very well. I was also able to make some nice light colored buttons out of it just by rubbing it with tung oil (and steel wool between coats). I'm having trouble identifying the wood species. Probably birch, but the grain on mine raised doubts. Possibly Chinese. I've seen what I think is similar to "Chinese southern elm". Unless you turn them on a lathe or make something else out of them, they would make really good youth batons. Although you may want to finish them off with Minwax wood stain and/or varnish first to keep them looking nice.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Off fashion

Nice dowels but rough edges and not all even. I sanded and painted
