What tools do you have to work with? If you've got a table saw it's
not hard to make octagonal rods, if you have a router table and a 5/8"
roundover bit then you can easily make them round. For stock if you
have a hardwood supplier have them plane to 1-1/4 plus a sanding
allowance, if you don't then get a couple of "1 inch" boards from the
Borg and glue them up to get the thickness--mount it with the bondline
vertical and nobody will notice that it's a glue-up unless they're
looking hard for it.
