Subject:
dowels are expensive

For lathe work, if you want round stock, take a piece of square stock and make 4 passes on the router table with a round over bit. It won't be dead round, but really close and you will be turning it anyway. If the spindles get very small in dia., check into a spindle steady to limit vibration as you turn.
