Needed to do some handles to keep together oak leaves bundles for the steam bath. This is popular in Eastern Europe, Finland, the Baltic states. It is getting popular in the USA too. Looking for a good deal on 7/8” x 48” wood dowels I found Woodpeckers Craft. Very good deal! Almost half the price of what I used to pay. The quality of the wood dowels is excellent, fast delivery, excellent customer service! They make you feel like they want your business! I used to run around NYC looking for dowels. With Woodpeckers, one orders with the IPhone, and presto, very good quality dowels are delivered, and I never experienced the level of attention and feedback to the customer that Woodpeckers offers. Excellent job!
