Could I ask what thickness of dowel you are using in the project? I have to buy online because I’m disabled and I keep ordering really thin dowel.because a lot of them are sized in imperial. The thickness of your dowel looks just right for the project I’m doing. It would be also useful to know the length (I need to get longer than that) . Thanks in advance. Definitely going to order some of your cord when I deplete my current supply. It looks great when brushed .
