In Jim Kingshott's M&T video, he recommends not using commerically available dowels. These dowels are turned so they can contain short grain along the side. Mr. Kingshott recommends riving a short pin blank from a block of wood so that you get continuous grain for the length of the pin. He trims it to rough diameter then pounds it through a dowel plate to get the final diameter. If you can find or make a dowel plate, it might be the solution to your problem.

Good Luck,
Wendell

Wendell,
LN sells dowel plates in both imperial and metic for $45. There is a review of these by David Charlesworth in pdf at LN's website on the page that describes the dowel plates. I bought one a couple of months ago and have used it two or three times. It works fine, very sharp.
