WOOD
Anyone use the home depot dowels? im trying the birch dowels but they seem too soft and the wire digs in too easily. but if you use too dense of wood the jig wont swim. so what are you guys using that is readily available in dowels?
thanks
justin

Salty Bugger has blanks pre drilled and ready to turn at a reasonable price so check his website for details in the plug section. he also sells many excellent unpainted kits as well.

Birch dowels at HD?
Are you sure they aren't poplar or some kind of asian mystery wood?

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I use the cheapo dowels for my pencils, the ones with the green painted ends...they hold up fine and the fish don't mind.  |
