Not familiar with Howie's, but another source for such items is Cherry Tree
Toys:

You could also do a search on "craft supplies" for other sources.

I purchased some unfinished wood items from a company called Howie's
about a year ago, but now I can't locate his web site. He sells stuff
like wood eggs, checkers, dollhouse items, etc. unfinished. I lost the
catalog he sent with the order, and for some reason, no matter how I
search for his site on google, I can't find it. I think he's located
in Tennessee, but I may be mistaken.

Thanks in advance.
