I bought these for a wildly disconnected pair of purposes. One, to use to do four dent weaving on a ridged heddle loom. Two, for a stick to use for bojitsu practice indoors in the winter. It works for both.For weaving, it is sturdy enough to support 32 inches of stitches across the length of the loom lifted together for a weaving pattern. For here, strength was a primary concern. If it was prone to bowing or warping it would not have worked for the purposes as the warp threads would have been lifted unevenly or unreliably. I used cotton as a tie to the threads and it worked without a hitch. High marks for strength.For bojitsu, smoothness was a main concern. I needed to be able to slide my hand along it from position to position. I knew it would not be long enough for some things, and that was an intended trade-off for being able to work in a smaller space. I did need to be able to switch grips however, and that requires smooth wood and that I can do with this. Hi marks for even, smooth wood. If you are concerned about fiber catching, don't be.So, thus far these have worked for both purposes to which I set them, odd as those purposes may be. I can say these look great, no signs of damage, splitting, or trouble on the wood at all. I can say, if I wanted to use them for something like a banner, I would not hesitate. They’re quality.

I bought these dowels because I didn’t have tomato cages. They are expensive to buy so I bought these long dowels that hold up my plants well. I also use them for my pepper plants . There are no splinters in these dowels. They are as smooth as can be! They are straight and the thickness is just what I need for my plants. My garden looks great with these nice and clean wooden dowels.

Update 10/2/17 - After multiple orders I continue to be impressed with the consistently high quality of the Woodpeckers dowels. Great value for crafters!Update 1/17/17 - I previously posted a good review of my first-ever order. I have since re-ordered additional packs and am pleased to be able to report that the product quality is very consistent pack-to-pack: size is precise, no need for extra sanding, all pieces are usable to make cat-toys to sell for fund-raising for the non-profit cat rescue group I work with. (With craft-store packs there's often one with a blemish or a splintered-spot that I have to put aside for non-sale uses.) A+ product, highly recommend for crafters!Original post: I use this size wand in making crocheted wand-toys for cats to sell for rescue fundraising, need the wood to look nice and feel very smooth in the hand. These met expectations for uniformity of size/length, minimal blemishes in the wood, nice even cuts with no need for extra sanding. Very pleased with this product!

Rods were the best price I found anywhere. I would have paid over double at Home Depot or Lowes. They are extremely sturdy. I had to cut them down to 30" and was able to cut completely through without them splintering or breaking. My only "issue" is that a few of them weren't completely straight. I believe after they have hung a while and the sun warms them up they will be fine though. Overall, well pleased
