“Great to know that I can get the type of wood dowel I need for my work and G&S never fail to deliver with expediency, courtesy and a great product.”

“This was for a reenactment spear head and the dowel was top quality. Nice and straight, free of knots and delivered smooth and round which saved me 4 hours of work. Only minor downside was that the delivery is more than the shaft itself but to be expected as it's an awkward size. That said, if you ordered several the shipping is potentially free and it arrives in 24hrs.”

“I was sent to this website by a friend of mine for carving wood. The options where vast, but in a good way, not overbearing. The wood blocks arrived quick and where well worth the money. I will definitely buy again.”

“Hi Garry, Shaun and the G&S Team I previously acquired dowls from Plugit Wood, but they were not suitable for my new project. I needed them to be 9.5mm X 1000mm straight with a consistent OD, this was not the case, and I therefor contacted your company in the hope of acquiring suitable dowels for my project. The 1M dowels I received from your company was not straight and the OD varied between 9,34mm and 9,45mm. The 500mm dowels were much straighter but the OD once again were not consistent. The below statement from your website encouraged me to try your Ash dowels “Each ash dowel is turned from a single piece of premium hardwood and sanded to a smooth finish. Manufactured with a strict tolerance of ±0.4mm,” It appears that it is not possible to produce straight wooden dowls of 1000mm X 9.5mm I will have to explore using Carbon Fibre Rods instead for my project. Regards Sarel”

Good afternoon, Thank you for your review. we are sorry the dowels are not straight enough for your application. If you can please send us some images to review this for you. As stated in your review the tolerance on the diameter is + or - 0.4mm to allow for variation. If you would prefer you can also return the dowels for a full refund. Kind regards G&S

“G&S always provide high quality kiln dried lime which I use for wood carving. Carving is time consuming so you don’t want to waste time on timber which has hidden defects.”
