Without a lathe, how can I make 1" dowel rod from Oak?
Is it as simple as taking a 1" square oak blank and running each side
through a router table with 1/2 radius round over bit against the bit
bearing and a fence?

Seems like that last side would be a problem to keep aligned.

Im doing this becuase I need dowels longer then 4' which is the longest I
can find to buy.

Anyone done this?
thanks


Make a pointy stick a little longer than the length dowel you desire

Cut off pointy end.

See link for further info on pointy sticks or just ping Charlie B
