“I have ordered several batches of dowel over the last few years. I need these to be very straight for the purpose I use them for. Unfortunately, some of the longer 2400 lengths have been bent and warped. I appreciate that there may be some slight warping, but it would be good if you could please inspect future orders to try and ensure as straight as possible. Thanks”

Hi, We are sorry that some of the 18mm dowels are bent and warped, unfortunately this will always happen due to the small diameter and the timber picked. Tulipwood is the softest hardwood we offer and the fact the diameter is small relative to the length at this diameter the dowel will sag unfortunately. Tulipwood is a cheaper dowel for more strength we would recommend Sapele or Beech in this diameter but unfortunately at 2400mm long and 18mm diameter the dowels will sometimes sag. Kind regards Tools & Timber

“I am teaching myself wood turning from a video course and using my own 'bits' of timber. All going well until at a critical point my timber (just home dried) split. Decided I needed some sound dry wood for this piece and sent an email to G+S on a Sunday pm. First thing on Monday I had a reply giving me what I needed. I ordered it and by Tuesday lunchtime I was turning again with well prepared timber, exactly as described. Top service and top quality. Thank you G+S.”
