Dowel.....scmashowels, make your own from square stock 'tis what I do. If you have a table saw, just rip the stock slightly larger than 3/8" or whatever. Then make a good shooting board, you can plane down one corner without flipping it over. As long as you have a good hand plane it won't take long. I use a jig and electric drill to make them round in about 30 seconds. Any way I can't find any 11/32" dowell. The last batch of blanks I made from 15" pieces of scrap and spliced them, just made a 30 degree slice on the cut-off saw and glued them up. Many ways to skin a cat.
