WTB turned dowels needed urgently

did not quite mean to cause such a stir so let me elaborate a little further and answer to some comments.

I understand that a cuemaker is not a simple wood turner but a specialist.
that is why I ask here for what i needed. if a cue maker just puts a little bit of the same attention into what i was asking as he would normally into a cue, i will be very happy.

people have commented that i will not like the price of such pieces as boards have to be cut down etc. i also work with a goldsmith to produce some custom parts for the same product i need the dowel for. i know how much certain materials costs and i know how much work i am asking for.
paying a fair price is not a problem

I do not expect anyone to use their precious figured wood for this - surely people will some merry widow blanks that have developed a wobble or such. or pieces from a board that are not as nicely figured or whatnot. also bell forest sells 36" dowels, just not unfortunately ebony nor pink ivory. i bought some 36" tulipwood from them a while back but they do not seem to offer it any more.

and yes i meant pink ivory not pink ebony! :-)

anyhow- found a gentleman who is able to sell me some coco and bocote,
just need ebony and tulip/p-ivory.

thanks for everyones helpful suggestions and sorry for long post

all the best :thumbup:
 
I just went to my supply stor and they had a pink ivory piece long enough and also ebony. As well as small thin pieces of cocobolo and every other kind of exotic woods. Please call or pm me and I will try my best to help you. The pink ivory will not last long and is a good price. 3 feet long.
