There is a company out of Canada that has just about any wood you could want in dowels. Talk to David at
www.dowelsondemand.org. We give 2-piece strikers with our calls, sohe was suppose to be sending me a variety to see how we like them. I haven't gotten them yet because it seems Customs likes turkey strikers too. Hope this contact helps. You'll be amazed at what types of woods he hasavailable.
